Comfort Foods

Carrot sticks are fine
When I want a quick bite
Walnuts are all right
And good for the mind

But when I want something tasty
I reach for the naughty stuff
Things I really shouldn’t eat.
Chips, pretzels, chocolates, and puffs

Pretzels, with a loud crunch
Potato chips made just right
Comfort foods I want to munch
Not too greasy, not too light

When I’m down I often reach
For chocolates and other sweets
I’ve heard it all, don’t you preach
Please let me enjoy my treats
