George Seal Poet Acrostic

Keeping Up Appearances

Resisting temptation, oh why do we try.
    Each resolution our lifestyles deny.
    Self sacrifice, gives results we can measure.
    Overweight flab, the product of pleasure.
    Luncheon consists of some pieces of fruit.
    Ulterior motives for wearing, a skimpy swimsuit.
    Testing resolve, or a mere passing whim,
     Impulsive actions are needed to slim.
     Over achieving what nature intends.
     Now we're enjoying a vacation with friends.
     Slimming once more starts, when each new year ends.
