Sometimes I just have to laugh at TV commercials. Nutrisystem promotes its meals for men who wish to lose weight. Order it and the box arrives at your door. Then just heat the meal and eat. What can more simple than this? This poem’s theme is written as a parody of this whole process. As for me, I sure won’t be ordering meals in a box.
Endless diets make the rounds
Hoping to lose a few pounds
Subscribing to EasyMeals
Delicious and thrifty deals
Simple and easy promise
Please any doubting Thomas
Order the food while online
Shipping never takes much time
Box of meals ships to the door
Bypass the grocery store
Open the box, check it quick
No more cooking, that’s the trick
Picking a meal, heat it now
Such easy and yummy chow
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
Simple life comes in these packs
Feeling extra hungry now
Eating two meals, tasting “wow”
Going through this two-week box
In just a week, quite a shock
Stepping on the scale one day
Extra pounds plus some, shout “Hey!”

That’s hysterical!!!! 😂
