Plight of the Leftover Christmas Cookies

Cookies must not go to waste Specially those of great taste So right passed my lips And straight to my hips I WILL let them go to WAIST I so love to munch and munch They’re brittle now with a crunch The flavors- still great But don’t satiate They’re great with my office lunch My body keeps them in store Why can’t I get through the door? Should have thrown them out Now I am more “stout” Ok, perhaps just one more? Eileen Manassian Ghali

This was fun, I too have been known to slip. My pants so tight they often rip. I oh so love to stuff my face. Tim Hortons is a magical place. I dunk my cookies till they drip. Thanks for the chuckle can you recommend a good place for Stetchy pants???
