    Diet Bites Thanksgiving Poem

    A Thanksgiving Feast was about to commence
    With roast turkey, dressing, and pies of quince.

    The table was special, decorated with flair,
    Snuggling next to my spouse, I pulled up my chair.

    Ready to feast, with family and friends,
    Who I knew would eat seconds, again and again.      

    But as for me, I'm on this durn diet,
    I'll sit here and be good, and awfully quiet.      

    A sniff of the hot rolls, a snort of the eggnog,
    And a lingering glance at the dark chocolate log.      

    Nothing for me except a small Spanish olive,
    A cup of strained broth, with a hint of Palmolive.      

    Maybe a pickle and a stick of celery,
    A few English Peas, and a glass of iced tea.      

    Those sweet potatoes sure look nice,
     And maybe a small cup of wild rice.  

    Cranberry sauce, a spoon or two,
    Mashed Potatoes? Oh yes, please do!      

    Some gravy here, and some gravy there,
    How did the gravy get into my hair?      

    A slice of pie, a trail of cake,
    How much more did they bake?      

    Oh, sweet divinity here, peanut brittle there,
    Should I eat more, should I dare?      

    Perhaps another slice of Grandma's pumpkin pie,
    And two more cookies that are catching my eye.      

    Another cup of apple cider,
    I'll need a vest, as a fat hider.      

    Tomorrow, I'll worry about my diet plan,
    But a Thanksgiving Day, feast? Oh yes I can!
