Resolution Ruses

This year again, we make weight
          loss lies.
          Loud resolutions to lose our
          charming thunder-thighs!
          Expensive Pilates equipment to
          we buy!
          Why, as we chow down hundreds
          of sugar-laden pies?

At least, Gershon, you are honest! Many fool themselves and grow in girth each year. There should be a bumper sticker...FAT KILLS. It kills and takes more lives each year, more than guns. We are our own murderers. That's sad! Very! Early graves? Food for many is total addiction. The parents don't teach children, this. We joke about being obese! Could be our doing-In. Panagiota
