Weight loss is not an easy game.

Not having been weighed for a while,

I thought, I'd get on the scales with a smile.

So, a little anxious, I went into the chemist in search of some scales. 

I hurried along while biting my nails.

And then, I spied the scales standing tall.

I thought to myself, I hope there not cruel.

So, the dreaded moment arrived and I walked into the corner.

And on the scales was a sign.

SORRY, OUT OF ORDER.

WHAT!

Don't they know? I'm desperate to see.

That I can eat more than a pea.

I've got to wait until Thursday now to see if I've lost any weight.

It means I'll just have to eat one cake, instead of eight.

If I'd lost something, I could have treated myself.

Now I've got to put those cakes and sweeties back on the shelf.
