It's a good day, though YOU might cry,
when MY belly's full of pumpkin pie.
And donuts may cause an early demise,
but they never fail to brighten my eyes.
For chocolate cake I will walk a mile,
better yet..... with a dollop of cream.
And a candle atop brings me a smile,
and of presents-past I shall dream.****
It's a good day when fudge is on sale;
it happens one day a month, at the shop.
Yes, it's a very good day, without fail....
when at the candy counter I do then stop.
It's a good day when to work I bring...
a caramel bun to have with my tea.
Tea (sugar and milk) makes me sing...
while my secretary sits on my knee.
With crackers and cheese by my phone...
I breeze through my day, making money.
At night I feel secure, though I live alone,
because I can always fix toast with honey.
In my dreams I live in Willy Wonka's factory,
surrounded with candy; it's.....ALL for ME!
And in the morning when, I finally awake....,
I enjoy my breakfast of ham and cheesecake.
Some think I need to go on a slimming diet,
but I enjoy my sugary treats too much to try it.
And fatty foods too. Why poach it? Just fry it!
If you now think I'm crazy, just you.....be quiet!

I would like to translate this poem
I am with you on fried foods, but I would much rather have a main course of meat followed by meat for dessert. Equally as unhealthy: -)
