At Poetic Asides, the prompt for Saturday the 13th (also my son's 25th birthday!) was to write a comparison poem. Here's my offering of the day. In case you don't watch Masterchef or some other cooking show where you learn hoity-toity words like "amuse-bouche", it means "something to please the mouth" and is a one bite appetizer kinda thing. And i like the way it sounds--it amuses me.

(NOT SO) AMUSE(ING)-BOUCHE.
When I make green juices
with vitamins and such
I feel so very thin (within)
like I’m not aging (much.)
When I give in to sugar
a (BIG!) weakness of mine
I feel my hips and thighs are
becoming elephantine.
I wish I were less prone to
these games inside my head,
but if they get too crushing
I (have a snack and) go to bed.
