Was Food Her Friend Or Foe?

She pushed the lolly in here mouth,
Hiding out that she was stout,
Looking about, around the room,
She stared at life as one big gloom,
As problems did arise, she had here friend
But did she know, an early death it would send
She fought back tears as troubles came,
And dashed to the cookie jar, how so lame.
