Grandpa's Favorite Diet

Can't have that slice of pizza Gotta watch my weight Dessert sure does look tempting But I'll take a pass on the cake I've cleaned my whole plate Yet I'm still not satisfied Sounds like I'm a candidate For grandpa's favorite diet Resist the goodies at every meal Say No! with fanatic zeal Then sneak downstairs at midnight ~ Devour every crumb in sight

Your grandpa and I both have the same neat little "habit".

Lol have the dessert after dinner it's better to consume it long before bed than in the middle of the night :). Fun poem Gershon :) hugs

Not to worry: I usually don't neglect that dessert either. Smiles, Gershon

You can eat right; sleep tight; exercise both day & nite, but you'll still end up dying anyway. So just enjoy yourself while you still can. This is a great one.

Wish it were that easy, Jean! Please keep in mind that I was raised by a prototype Jewish mother, serving me meals whose main course was guilt three times a day! LOL. Thanks, my friend. Giggles, Gershon
