THE DIET
Two ladies at a table sat
Inside an upscale, chic café.
They nibbled something, had a chat,
While slowly sipping their latte.
"I started a fantastic diet,"
Said Ann to Betty-Lou.
"It works, you ought to try it.
Called Goldberg's, and it's new."
Said Betty-Lou, "My dear,
I hoped to lose some pounds
And tried it, but I fear
I didn't even lose one ounce."
"Well," Ann replied, "it isn't fair.
Look, husbands they stay trim
While eating double our share
And still keep looking slim."
"How true," said Betty-Lou to Ann,
"One almost could despair.
Let's order one more cup and then
Another double chocolate eclair."
