The Water Diet!

So Roy's secret made me remember when we had to drink a certain amount of water per day for a "Healthy Challenge" we had at work a few years ago. It was such a memorable time that I decided to put my thoughts to a poem:

The Water Diet

We are 60% water already
But why not add some more.
It’s the fad, the latest diet -
Water, water, water galore!

I’d like to take a little time
And spell out all that’s great
About our friend, Mr. H2O,
There’s much to celebrate!

A little water before you eat
And you should fill up fast.
Then after dinner, to stay feeling full
Just down another glass.

And when that cheeseburger stares at you,
A very tasty temptation,
Just drink a gallon of our pal water -
You’ll lose that craving sensation!

And then perhaps, if your stomach’s small,
That is not all you will lose.
Eating will then be the last on your mind -
Oh what glorious news!

And let’s not forget all the exercise!
Yes water will make you go ZOOM.
At work, at play and even at night -
ZOOM! ZOOM! ZOOM to the bathroom!

So you can see how water can be
A great way to lose some weight.
So drink it right up, and have some to spare
Doesn’t the water diet sound great!
