Analysis of The diet



Double deckers, curly whirlys, kat kat chunky and a twix,
these chocolate bars i'm craving for, have got me in a fix.

Crisps of any flavor, cakes and a sticky bun,
thinking of these foods, isn't very fun.

Salads, fruit and veggies, are the foods i'm supposed to eat,
so eat these foods i will do, til i can see my feet.

Running, cycling, crunching, to loose the extra weight,
got to keep on working hard, soon i'll be looking great.
