Bit of an odd one this. Would anyone notice the repeated letters if they hadn't read the rubrics? I haven't pinched your biscuit, Brian. Sent this off hours ago before seeing yours.

Small children, while rejecting greens,
Scoff biscuits, then, as fire-proof teens,
Scorn elders' fears of bulges, pots,
Sludge in the arteries and clots.

Some years go by. Not quite so thin
Now, biscuits turn to life-style sin.
No more! Along the road they start
To slender form and healthy heart.

Truth is, they're useful to disguise
Embarrassment at shape and size.
Embonpoint? Beer-gut? Rolls of fat?
Thank goodness biscuits cause all that!
