Light Verse Gains Weight

It started off well enough,
consideration of two people,
side-by-side on a park bench,
feeding bits of cheese steak to rats.

Then it took a left-turn,
and became a discussion about your cholesterol,
polyunsaturated fats,
and whether you would need bypass surgery in ten-years.

You know no editor
would allow polyunsaturated fats in verse,
but here you are,
having used it twice.
