Resolutions Replay

        "Resolutions Replay"




All resolutions for twenty thirteen
Always promise to start out peachy keen
dreaming or wide awake
my pet peeve is cheesecake
A wide waistline on bikini screams "mean".

Pineapples, cheeries, strawberries or plain
Calories are the secret to weight gain
trying to deny urge
as fork and cheesecake merge
Choose will power or perhaps go insane.

Only three hundred sixty-four more days
To keep resolution intact from craves
as the replay unhinge
time for a cheesecake binge
Happy New Year rides deep hunger pang waves.


*For Gwendolen's Resolution Limerick in your Pocket.

Dear LInda, My resolve for you is that you GAIN weight. You eat a whole bunch of cheesecakes and then you can eat fruits and veggies after you have your splurge, and eat LOTS of those fruits and veggies, sweet friend. THey will do you GOOD. Congrats on this great win. Luv, Andrea

What captivated me the most about your entry was the count down and the desperation of trying to keep those hunger pains in check! Great job, poetess! Sending a healing hug!
