Byte Size Food Begets Best Benefits

way before aye knew 

     the name Fletcherism applied 

tummy uncommonly (recherché) atypical dyed

in the wool feeding and/or slaking thirst guide

did precepts sans hungry 

     deaf eating beast impossible to hide

(the ferocious growling harassing imp -
 
     armed to the figurative teeth ready to pounce
 
     viz casus belli sans reeling off 

     a pseudo say id dish us vicious  jeremiad 

me, this unrepentant conscientious masticator, 

     who re: lied

on self control unbeknownst to this pumpkin eater

     unwittingly followed 

     the basic tenet of  Fletcherism - custom made 

modus operandi vis a vis exercising okayed  

mandibular metered (when famished),
 
     eyes kept closed while tongue gently played

adhered to practice of eating small amounts,
 
     which discipline stayed

engorging self, and as a result 

     (consuming sustenance 

     only when hungry avoiding

     (wolfing like an instantaneous blitz krieg flash) 

     found me aware visa vis master car ding

     marginal increase in pounds meaning 

     thy body electric weighed

approximately for long stretches 

     when a habitue at one or another dining digs

stuffed nibbling on hors d'oeuvre figs

adequately satiating with with oomf 

     when contra dance caller Scott Higgs 
    
announced "hands four," which signal 

     helped get my mojo back 

     and reel lee deuce home jigs,

which kickstarted, syncopated, 

oft times espying Bobbie Riggs

who years gone back whiz Vic Tory huss 

    e'en when donning apparel of Whigs

like colluding trump petting molecules

that via tiff Fanny doth zags and zigs.
