There was a girl
who wanted to have her cake and eat it
At first the indulgence
felt exciting
She gorged on mouthful
after mouthful.
It still wasn’t enough
but it left her feeling sickened
With herself
She quickly realised
that the first, delectable slice
would have satisfied her hunger
If only she had savoured that piece
she would not be here now
left with only crumbs
