I'm supposed to be counting calories

Recently my doctor suggested that, for my own good, I should cut back on portion sizes and select a healthier selection of foods, eaten in moderation. Things have started in the right direction - but every now and then I get an urge to "enjoy" a good hearty meal. When the urge came today I decided to imagine I had been to an "eat as much as like" restaurant - and write a limerick about it.

Give me wine, put it down on the slate,
Pile the meat very high on the plate,
And a fish course, and sweet,
Give me all I can eat,
And to hell with my own body weight.

And its worked - the very thought of it has made me feel full!
