Against Dieting............

Please, darling, no more diets.
I've heard the talk on why it's
good for one's esteem.  I've watched you
jogging lanes and pounding treadmills.
I've even shed two kilos of my own.
But enough.  What are love handles
between friends?  For half a stone
it isn't worth the sweat.
I've had it up to here with crispbread.
I doubt the premise too.
Try to see it from my point of view.
I want not less but more of you.
