and all through the gym,
members feared tis' the season
when no one stays slim!
With the best of intentions
you spring from your bed,
while visions of partying
dance in your head.
"This year will be different"
you say to yourself.
"Those great bakery treats,
I'll just leave on the shelf!".
"I'll exercise daily
no reason for stopping,
except… when I have
to go holiday shopping!"
Then suddenly at your door
there arose such a clatter.
Oh no! it's your neighbor
with her famous fudge platter!
The first of six parties
will take place tonight.
"I'll just use restraint,
sample food with one bite."
Upon entering the home
filled with holiday cheer,
the next thing you know
someone hands you a beer!
You now spot the "lair"
where the food has been set.
OMG! it looks awesome,
as your palms start to
sweat.
Recognizable dishes
many known for their fame,
set your pulse rate to quiver
as you call them by name.
There's glazed ham, candied yam,
homemade rolls, "oh good grief".
Pecan pies fill your eyes
and "ah yes", that roast beef!
This is just too much pressure
you're beginning to cave,
while the "foodies" around you
smack their lips and just rave.
As you sit in the corner
with buffet plate on knees,
your hostess approaches
"Try my brownies, oh please!"
The guests start to leave
as they 'waddle' about.
But you did it! Hooray!
You didn't pig out!
With a smile on your face,
you reflect on the night.
You've enjoyed smaller portions,
so the scale won't cause fright.
Food is now everywhere,
after all, tis' the season.
But you'll be just fine
if you eat within reason!
Happy holidays!
Love,
Fannie
