Goes everywhere along with me.
He perches lightly on my sleeve;
I surely wish that he would leave!
He thinks that he’s a diet guru
And tries to tell me what I should do.
Sometimes I hear him softly mutter,
“Eat biscuits dry; you don’t need butter.
In fact, you really don’t need bread;
Just eat some carrot sticks instead.”
I wish he’d go and soak his head.
I have a sweet tooth that’s so healthy,
If it were money, I’d be wealthy.
I like cookies, cakes, and pies,
And if I eat them, he just sighs.
He knows I’m fond of chocolate;
I mean I love it—quite a lot!
He thinks I’ll give it up—or not!
I also like ice cream and candy;
The both of them are fine and dandy,
But he’s a killjoy—that’s for sure.
For all those things with such allure,
Like sweets and like potato chips,
He says that when they pass my lips,
They’ll rest forever on my hips.
A bird that no one else can see
Goes everywhere along with me.
He perches lightly on my sleeve;
I surely wish that he would leave.
