There’s always free cheese . . . in a mousetrap. ~ bumper sticker seen by Sally Jadlow

A frozen puddle, looks like thick ice,
I’d try it, gingerly, but try it.
The old diet mentality, try a bite,
even a piece, then exercise, starve,
purge, pretend…maybe I can get away
this time. Things abound that I want,
seeming so inane, so minor, why not?
Tell that to my fingers each time I’ve tried
and been caught in the awful trap…
