The Oatmeal Budget Diet: poetry and social commentary with a sense of humor





The Oatmeal Budget Diet

household budget management tips for life in 21st century America

I'm on a diet,
I eat only oatmeal now.
It's working well, 
here's the secret, I wait
until the thought of oatmeal is appealing before I eat.

I've been dieting only four weeks
and I've lost a lot of weight already.
But I'm beginning to hate the very thought of oatmeal
and now I need to buy new jeans,
the ones I have don't fit anymore!

Thanks to the diet I've saved enough,
and I'll donate the old ones, 
they're practically new and
someone will get good use from them
unless they go on an oatmeal diet.

Sometimes it seems you just can't win
and now as it turns out I've discovered 
I don't really like oatmeal all that much so
I've decided when I save enough money I'll buy
a hamburger, fries and shake.
