Fall Ing

Carbohydrates, caffeine and chocolate Crave, create and crash The season of darkness upon us Time for a hundred yard dash To the food mart Fill up the cart With stimulants and cheer Same old story, same solution Just a different year

Seems like I write something about the season of darkness every year, but I'm way more cheerful about it than I used to be — plus, I eat way less choc'lit. Spose there's a connection? :-) Cheerios and froot loops! (plus hugs, of course) ~ j
