A food lovers prayer


The holidays are hard on a waist,

this much is true.

Get enough people together,

Food is the glue 
My stomach stretched and overfull,

my mouth with an elastic ability, 

to eat past common sense,

past the point of debility 
As each holiday comes and goes,

I warn myself thus;

Don’t eat that much again,

or next time, you’ll need a trus.
