I do love my Butterscotch

Pudding,

Shining on my spoon

Sliding down my throat

Into the expanse

Of my ever

Expanding stomach.

I love it

so,

This much I know.

I would

eat it until

My waist,

which is still one size

Larger than it was when

I graduated from

High School

many long years ago,

would expand into

Flex slacks,

Ex-span-domatic pants.

Maybe start wearing

my dress shirts

outside of my pants

to hide the paunch

That I would have.

Guess I'd better

watch it,

Ease back,

Slow down

and just enjoy the

Scotch,

without the butter

or

the spoon.

I'd miss it so.
