Stewed prunes and chocolate

There are days of low fat meals
skimmed milk and bland crispbread.
Cravings for apple crumble
change to stewed prunes instead.
Those testy scales are laden
with feet hidden by the flab.
No mirrors in the bathroom
to reveal the clothes so drab.
Chocolate in the drawer;
a silent hidden treasure,
so rich and darkly smooth.
The taste of it such pleasure.
The adverts dictate thinness
as an ideal woman’s form
but I suggest that chocolate
should be everybody’s norm.
