For the next meal and that’s by decree you should eat everything that you see has been placed on your plate; such as that is your fate and the pounds will drop off one… two… three.

I'm afraid, if the pounds would drop off, what I see must be less. Do not scoff. A banana is small for a stomach; that's all it will be, so I'd better not cough.

I had better not cough, it will be a disaster you don’t want to see for my elbow won’t reach what I use for good speech; I’m surprised at what comes out of me.

If what comes out of you are fine words you can sell them for feed for your birds so they'll flap in the sky to the great by and by or just drop on your head little turds.

… and since I just wrote this to a friend on AP who wants me to affirm that I'm not getting old...
I affirm that my brain's staying young while forced oxygen fills up my lung Painful feet won't concur and my eyes start to blur though I'm nibbling on hot egg fu yung.

Little turds will just drop on your head if you walk through the forest instead of a nice city street without trees. Life’s complete if you’re strolling without all the dread.

And in reply to your post to your friend:
If you’re nibbling on hot egg-fu-yung then it’s possible you are among China town’s restauranteurs where the food connoisseurs never scream when they’re burning their tongue.

If you're strolling on streets without dread then in Chinatown you won't find bread but just noodles and chips to add weight to your hips that you'll walk off until you are dead

If you walk off until you are dead, never facing life’s problems instead of just standing your ground; you’ll amaze and astound while the compliments go to your head.

While the compliments go to your brain it won't matter if you end up slain because you will be dead. You will ne'er get ahead from the farm where you planted your grain.

If you’re planting some grain on the farm there might be a slight cause for alarm. Now with each new fad diet it’s best to stay quiet. They all preach carbohydrates will harm.

Carbohydrates cause harm if you preach to be careful, but you're at the beach with your gut hanging out in a way there's no doubt that your practice that goal does not reach!

When you practice but can’t reach your goal, are you digging a much deeper hole when those failures you curse make your plight a bit worse? Dig some more and pretend you’re a mole.

If great mountains from molehills arise from your digging, that often implies that you're deep in a hole with that pessimist mole wherein anything good's a surprise

Anything which is good’s a surprise to a pessimist who always cries “Woe is me!” and such ilk. After spilling his milk, hopes his cat will arrive ere it dries.

When your cat comes to lick up the mess it is helpful right there to confess that to spill milk's okay Optimistic ballet might be danced with a bit of success

With success, you may dance for a bit. You can prance or perhaps do a split but make sure leotard’s small codpiece fits and wards or you may not be able to sit.

If your crotch rests on pieces of cod while you dance on the beach esplanade they will make your tights stink You should pray they don't shrink or you'll scare away every last broad

If you scare broads away with cod’s stench, ocean’s waves will wash you, every inch; but look out for a fin just before you begin or you’ll wind up as bait… That’s a cinch.

It's a cinch you will wind up as bait for a shark lest you're careful. Your fate could be sealed with a bite or be dragged out of sight. If you don't see the fin, it's too late!
