Scarlett and Me

What would the heroine say if her diet were gone with the wind?

I'll lightly taste the barbeque
and fried catfish
only a few
hushpuppies.
And so it seems
Cole slaw
is green,


it must be light.
(Perhaps these scales are off a mite!) 
You take  Ashley
I'll take Rhett.
Lemon meringue--
the best pie yet!


Of course I'll dance--
That's why I came
But now the cooks
I'll have to blame.
This corset
doesn't feel the same!
Twirl me around,
Dispel my sorrow--
Calories
I'll count tomorrow!
Somewhere rings
the sweet refrain,
"I never will
hunger again."
