To eat or not to eat:
that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler
in the mind to suffer
The denial and
rejection of chocolate fortune,
Or to close eyes
against a sea of flab,
And by devouring gain
them. To consume: to swallow:
No more; and by chewing
to say we bulge
Our waistlines, and the
thousand calories
That flesh is heir to,
'tis a consummation
Devoutly reviewed. To
consume: to swallow;
To swallow: perchance
to swell: ay, that's the rolls;
For in that savory
chocolate what sweets may come,
When we have these fad
diets,
And now indulge:
where's your feet?
Now hidden by so large
a stomach:
For who could bear the
aromas of the treat,
The luscious texture,
the delectable taste,
The pang of despised
love, the joy's delay,
The insolence of cocoa,
and the tempts
That chocolate winds
around your mind,
When you yourself might
your quietus make
With a cleaned plate?
Who would enticements bear,
To toil for days with
but vegetables,
And that dread of
losing all your teeth,
The undiscover'd
country called old age
Mistaken for you will,
frightens your soul,
And makes us rather
deny the treats we have
Than lose booth teeth
and battle of the bulge?
Thus conscience makes
healthiness for us all,
And thus the vigorous
hue of renouncement
Is dulled from denied
taste buds of thy tongue.
