more rain

putting off dog-walking

I am betrayed once more, it seems to me,

by mine own self, in solitude abide

the sweet fruit of belov'd banana tree

in which so many calories reside.

One a day, I can allow myself to eat,

but not a second, nor a third at all

for though banana's deemed a safer treat

it will result in dietary fall.

One alone, I should consume, and be content;

the salts it will provide my flesh be still

sufficient aid to ease the cramp of muscle bent

in martial arts contorted limbs and will.

 My carrot stock decade in kitchen heat

 I will buy some tablet vitamins to eat.
