Defeating Pica Syndrome
Toilet paper is not food
Stop eating it- doesn't do you any good
It makes you constipated
Pica Syndrome's overrated
It's not something you can't beat
Yes, this too you will defeat
I know Angel Soft is really yummy
But it does horrors to your tummy
Chew on some gum instead
But don't swallow!
Your intestinal tract may clog up dead
Eating tissue makes you feel full inside
Stopping you from being hungry at normal times
This is dangerous- those fibers have no nourishment
You need real food to keep your body vibrant
You may feel full, but your body is lacking
Tissue can't keep disease from attacking
Surgery may be needed if you eat too much
Don't eat it at all!
It should not be your lunch
Don't eat it in a car
Don't eat it in a bar
Don't eat it in a jar that's very far
It tastes good, smells good, it's almost always there
Still the grinding on your teeth can land you in a dentist chair
Be good to your body- keep it far from your mouth
Only use it for transactions occurring south
Self-control is the key!
Let's be Pica Syndrome free!
I know the temptation will keep other thoughts retreating
But always remember!
Toilet paper is not for eating!
