These Are My JOTtings...

Swinburn Quatrain: "I Must Reduce!"

The wondrous taste of cookie dough
is what I choose,
But flabby tire I oft do know.
I must reduce!

To sip it from a DQ glass,
my will I lose.
Such lovely taste I cannot pass.
I should reduce!

They see with passion I consume
and love produce.
They ask me if I need a room.
I could reduce!

"O, have, Thee, time to cookie bake?"
"I need refuse
for know, Thee, all the time 'twould take!"
I can reduce?

Would love of girl surpass my taste
that chips do loose?
In dish my finger loving traced...
My lust reduce!

What tasty mem'ries chips provide
of past abuse!
This one lone thing I cannot hide!
I might reduce!

For four years now I'm gluten-free.
I wish a truce!
What luscious chips I long to see!
Can I reduce?

Cold showers now do bring me hope.
That is their use!
They help with cravings I need cope.
I MUST REDUCE!!!!
