117. The Egg and Ramen Diet

Egg and Ramen every day
Be the only way to go
When you haven’t got the dough
For fancy à la Modes
Egg come morn, Ramen come night,
Has been my rule for years;
A far more addictive fast
Than it might first appear.
I tried to break this pattern
With a feast fit for a king,
But wound up chucking all my guts
And rupturing my spleen.
So egg and ramen every day
For as long as I can tell,
Since when my menu shrunk to that
My stomach shrunk as well.
