Better Eat Your Spinach

If you should ever fall

He said

Then I’d be here to catch you

Well you’ll need pretty strong arms

She said

With legs to match them too

Meaningless

I
really
do love you,

She
said,

I love
you with
all my heart.

But you
also love
tomato sauce,

He
said,

So is this
whole thing
just a farce?

This weight
is too heavy

Its burden
is too great

Yet I struggle
on regardless

Resigned
to my fate
