Smaller Portions
A slice of beef, a cup of riceFive brussel sprouts, a piece of rye
A half cup of soda or juice
This is my new life
Used to be more
Now it's less
Prime rib, baked potato with trimmings
All the good stuff in life
Now they say, I need to slow down
The body's not the same
Need to eat less, yet five times a day
Have to take it easy
Do everything in moderation
I used to be the hare
Now I have to be the tortoise
Such is my new life
