"10 Little Weight Watchers"

10 little Weight Watchers joining in a line,
one hated vegetables, then there were nine…

9 little Weight Watchers say, "This is great."
One said "I don't have time to exercise,"
then there were eight…

8 little Weight Watchers say, "This is heaven."
One had a birthday, then there were seven…

7 little Weight Watchers, getting thin for kicks.
One said, "Programs and fun just don't mix,"
then there were six…

6 little Weight Watchers, see how they thrive.
One said, "Just once won't hurt,"
then there were five…

5 little Weight Watchers beating at a door.
One weighed and left each week,
then there were four…

4 little Weight Watchers from fat getting free.
One heard, "Dear you're getting too thin,"
then there were three…

3 little Weight Watchers see how they do.
One went on vacation, then there were two…

2 little Weight Watchers, life has just begun.
One got off the program, then there was one…

1 little weight watcher standing all alone,
the body's gotten little, how the pride has grown…

1 little Weight Watcher,
at goal she (he) looks divine…
We, each one of us, can be that one
and not the other nine!!!
