Inspired by my husband's dietary restrictions post by pass surgery:

Enjoy Every Sandwich:

Whole wheat, pumpernickel, sourdough rye?

Which bread type will I try?

The least in carbs, the highest in grain

high fructose corn syrup … bad for the brain.

Ham, turkey, roast beef, chicken?

Tuna, salami, in the kitchen

Processed meat is not good eaten’

Limited choices. I feel beaten.

Provolone, mozzarella, cheddar, Swiss?

Special sauces brought pure bliss.

Cheese has fat and sodium

Too much queso and I’ll need Imodium.

Can’t eat this. Shouldn’t have that.

Too many grams of saturated fat.

All those carbs and all that salt

Lousy genetics, no one’s fault.

All I want is to like my eats

And to not have to analyze every treat

Or feel like a zero because I ate a gyro

or a ne’er do well because of my HDL.

So if you have more luck than me

and can enjoy a BLT

or a Reuben or something else from the deli

or even just a peanut butter and jelly

savor and appreciate

every sandwich that you ate!
