Dieter's Prayer
The Lord is my Shephard,
I shall not want:
He maketh me to lie down
on vinyl-covered gym mats.
He leadeth me to
flavored calorie-free waters.
He restoreth my goals,
He diverteth me from the path
of midnight snacking
for my health's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the alley
of the vendors of the pastry,
I will fear no weevil,
For thou art with me,
Thou preparest a table before me,
spread with veggies and low-fat protein:
Thou steamest my fish in foil:
My resolve runneth over,
Surely, if I follow this plan,
all the days of my life,
My hips will be slimmer forever!
