Battling expanding student waistlines, colleges are dispensing with cafeteria trays.  –news item

 TO-DO ABOUT TRAY U.

Eighteen-year-old's eyes

Widen with surprise–

Pasta, burgers galore,

Two or three or four;

Smoothies, sodas, shakes,

Cookies, candies, cakes,

Hot dogs, chill dogs, corn dogs,

Ice cream, chocolate logs,

Whitefish, bluefish, lox–

Not from Pandora's box.

Takeaway: bursting belly

Soft as lemon jelly.

Temptation can't be beat

When it's all-you-can eat.

Eighty-sixing trays

Limits piles at buffets.

So the teen's brown eyes

Stay at healthy size,

As does his midsection,

Almost back to perfection.

Final weapon awaits:

Much smaller plates.
