Of late my diet has been aiming toward health,

But every once in a while a cake sneaks in by stealth,

Then approximately ten hours later it comes back on me,

Could it be karma attacking some hoarded wealth…?

My stomach is not what it used to be, you see,

Foods I ate only a few years ago are now just so much debris,

I can see my future as eating only bland foods, no potpourri,

I cannot understand it, I don’t drink nor smoke, eating is my only vice,

I really try to be on the healthy straight and narrow, why me…?

So I do smoke the herb, the pot, the reefer every now and again,

Sure it probably does “some” damage to my body, I don’t doubt it,

Could this damage be for me my life’s bane,

Better to live in this world without addictions,

In the end eventually going insane,

That would be the only future I can forsee, that would be my final prediction…
