Loving Covid Comfort Food

by Debi Pick Marquette

Lord, please give me a sign, if you think I eat too much Seems that since Covid hit, food's become a crutch Everything I thought about, always looked like food And everything I looked at, always looked so good I suppose it would be helpful, if I didn't add the butter Eating dry popcorn, while talking makes me stutter At times I'm really hungry, but often I'm just bored News of many shortages, I even thought to hoard And as I found myself, watching television more Ice cream called my name, and I could not ignore It wouldn't been so bad, then I had to have some chips Now what kind of soda, goes with chicken strips? It soon becomes a habit, as I always had to snack My metabolism's gone, completely out of whack I found myself hiding food and eating on the sly Hubby said to slow it down. I answered, "when pigs fly" Then many restaurants, started to deliver I'm thankful I'm not drinking too, at least I'll save my liver While I make excuses, thankful I no longer smoke But eating all this food, could still cause a bad stroke Covid was a problem for more than just the virus While forced to stay at home, eating had become a crisis I'm happy things are better; think I'll dance a little jig I no longer need that sign Lord, so you can get rid of the pig
