Listen to poem:

Oh the Hell With It Its a Holiday

Oh the Hell with it   It’s a Holiday
David J Walker
 
Knowing that
I am going
 
On a diet but that
Fat or slim
 
I will die anyway
But try not to stray
 
Into the fast foods
And savory flavors
 
Tempting me with
Deep fried
 
Culinary favors from
A Pied eyed Piper Pedaling
 
Perfectly baked
Buttery dishes
 
Cornmeal flaked and
Best wishes
 
For a man like me
Preferring deep
 
Fried catfishes to
Any kind of sushi
 
Oh….
            The hell with it
It’s a holiday
