An Allergy

I think I have an allergy

That long since has been ailing me!

But now I think I’ve pinned the food

That makes my abdomen protrude;

It’s clear I always feel the worst

Each time I eat my fourth dessert.

The second helping I’ll be fine,

But by the third I start to whine;

My stomach gets to feeling sick,

Akin to swallowing a brick!

And soon my body starts to swell:

My hips and cheeks and thighs as well!

This allergy is such a pest!

Just when I’m feeling at my best,

And on the brink of satisfaction,

I get this horrible reaction!

Sometimes I think I should abstain,

But then I think, “No pain, no gain!”
