Double-Good

Double - Good - I am one of those people whose body weight is evidently "up for grabs," that is, I eat enough for several people, but I am as skinny as one of the little boards on a picket fence. I jumped onto a weighing scale the other day and it told me that I had donated about 25 pounds of "me" to who-knows-what. Off to the market we went, this time to buy those "energy drinks" that our good doctor had told me to put into my belly every day - like two or three of them every day. "Best you do that or even a slight puff of breeze will blow you clean away," Doc said. Well, I did not particularly like the taste of the stuff - not even the chocolate-flavored kind. So I decided to try it after heating in the microwave oven for a minute or two. Wow. It seemed as though the flavor arrived in the microwave - tons of flavor. Made me want some more of the stuff. Right now I am sitting here, beating on the computer keyboard, wanting some energy drink. That last little container of chocolate-flavored weight gainer stuff must be working on me with lots of energy - way more than was there when I tried to swallow the drink when it was cold. Three of those every day will be a pleasure. If I am not careful, those three containers will become four containers, and my skinny belly will turn into a real fatso kind of middle. If it tastes so good, how come it has such a dull brown color to it? Seems to be that logic and fact are not always found in the same container.
