As a healthy, good alternative I’ll have a boiled egg
I’ll cook it so it’s runny and toast a bit of bread
Some healthy olive spread and then some Bovril on it too
I think that this will be quite nice, and then a grape or two
Or maybe a banana or an apple crisp and fresh
I have no time for junk food, biscuits, cakes and all the rest
A cup of tea with just skimmed milk, no sugar will I add
There’s no need for indulgences they only make you bad.
But then I think, a little treat would surely go down well
I bought myself an Easter egg, the smallest that they sell.
I thought I’d have a bit to taste then give the rest away
Just one small piece, after my lunch, to mark this Easter Day
I looked upon the pretty box and opened with great care
It wouldn’t do to mess it up, as this was meant to share
The foil looked so pretty, machine wrapped I suppose
And as I moved it to one side, the aroma hit my nose!
Ooh lovely, creamy chocolate, just waiting there for me
I tried to break it gently but there was no way I could see
So I hit it with my fist and grabbed the biggest piece I saw
And soon I’d eaten half of it - and then I’d scoffed it all!
Oh heck - that wasn’t what I planned
My healthy bubble burst
Although at least self righteously
I’d had some fresh fruit first!!
