I started a diet today
 
Saying, this time I really mean it!
Then my children asked me to bake a cake,
And of course, I didn't want to disappoint them.
Really, I couldn't.
That's how I am,
Eager to please my family,
Desiring to give them what they want.
 
And so,
 
Determined to stay on my diet
I said I'll just have a little taste. 
Eventually
This little taste led
 
To another, and another until
On my plate was a big piece of cake
Drizzling with icing.
After I ate it I thought to myself,
Yeah, tomorrow I'm going to start a diet…
