The Tyranny of the Calorie


oh how easily that chocolate bar
slides down your willing throat,
after a mere slither across your tongue,
exciting every taste bud into
delirious delight.
then your coach tells you after the fact
that you have to ride your bike for 2 hours or
weight train for an hour, or stroll for three.
the injustice of it all, the tyranny of
the calorie, the harsh reality of
the consequences of that brief moment
of self indulgence, of unbridled enjoyment.


This poem follows a sobering presentation on weight loss by Davanti Cycling: www.davanticycling.com. Good news is she told us what to do!
