Best Moderation Poems
Our first lady Michelle from the white house.
Encourages healthy eating not souse.
Limbaugh cries idiot.
In the newspaper writ.
She was eating hamburgers with her spouse!
In Vale he said they were sking on snow.
Then eating ribs, he said on his show.
But how can he talk?
With his bulk hard to walk!
Having chest pains to the hospital did go!
"Food Nanny" Obama is saying,
Having barbeque won't be paying.
Have pie on Thanksgiving Day,
Said Michelle critics say,
Moderation?? To the dogs we're straying!
Alcohol is a culturally accepted drug
Many drink alcohol at point in their lives
Some only drink during social occasions
Others may have an evening glass of wine
Moderate alcohol consumption can reduce your risk of heart disease
The benefit is not so great that a non-drinker should consider drinking alcohol
About 1/3 of those drinking alcohol will develop problems with alcohol
Drinking problems can increased your risk of serious health problems
Accidents
Or injuries
If you want to drink alcohol
Moderate consumption is considered safe
Moderate drinking is considered 2 drinks a day for men
1 a day for women or lighter-weight men
A drink is 12 ounces of beer
5 ounces of wine
1 ½ ounces of hard liquor
Each one counts as one carbohydrate choice

IN MODERATION
By: William S. Labtis
Anything….taken
in excess is wrong!
Physically, morally or legally!
What may cause or uncaused you
Un-ending indigestion, detestation
protestation , exhaustion or exhumation!
After that condemnation…is a word of caution!
We may take it lightly or seriously
Everything of anything maybe precariously
Must be inconsideration always
To a safety-net should command
To seemingly good and blessedly
We must think twice and wisely
Look back for moderation as a demand.
Having dealt with in practice
Totally or wildly these earthly vices
Will surely become a backfire.
In any ground, workplace or perchance
Omit or commit, the end is indeed the measure
In battlefields, too much is an extreme
Nothing is lost than yourself alone.
Next, coming soon, live or let live
Everyday, every hour and every minute
Playfully, habitually, illegally or criminally
You may think the law dismiss or spare
What may be done uncommon or un-naturally
As the mean justify the end, automatically
As the best judgment…is moderation!
Partake and indulge
Why not! But have we considered
There are other lives who wanted to live
By themselves, with you ,however, never cared
So much we have taken advantaged of
Disheartened and engaged with and prejudiced
Nothing in exchange for moderation
The best of times.
May have leisurely come
Grasped handily, nevertheless, having done
Against the law of Heaven and man
Humanly physical. biological and environmental
and material
But you have gone so far so fatal
Forgot moderation which could have been
sweetly natural must prevail.
All things in moderation,
It's a good way to get along;
For life it seems is a smorgasbord,
Of work, play, strife and song.
How can we enjoy a meal,
If we only taste one dish?
How can we have the fullness of life,
With our mind set alone on one wish?
Life is a serious matter, that's true.
We must learn to earn our keep.
Common sense tells us that all things need,
To work, play, laugh and sleep.
Equal amounts of excitement and peace,
Are important to our very existence.
It's unhealthy for us to dwell on one thing,
And obsess with too much persistence.
It takes all the fun and joy out of life,
To worry too much and frown.
By the same token it isn't wise,
To try to be the town clown.
All things in moderation.
Listen, learn and be wise.
All things in moderation.
It's a good way to live a full life.
Willful is shown as your gesture
An indicator of strength
Though part of it is recoil
From the life that went before
Be calm in your journey
The destination does not count
People and moments matter
Enjoy every moment spent
Know when to use your anger
Applied right you will be strong
Never, let time in memory
Remove that smile from your face
Allow time for quiet
To do absolute nothing
Hear the calm in silence
Life will be so more full
Love is the key to everything
Not a second to be wasted
Remember, as I ever told you
Moderation in all things
Moderation and balance
That is the key
To unlocking life’s vault
On how to live happily
Sounds oh so simple
Though I am yet to get it right
Moderation I struggle with
When tasty goodies are in sight
I will keep on trying
To balance and moderate
Just as the saying goes
“It is never too late”
There's construction on 400
Bed rolls under the junction
Lights passing overhead
Eyes shut but never rested
With the film money rolling in,
New homes are built
With the overpass covering,
some are sheltered from the rain
Underneath 85,
Just south of city lights
are those still trudging through life
Bed roll, holding dog close for the warmth to survive
Justice, an unknown virtue would forever remain
If moderation into our hearts, we cannot sustain!

Halloween - it starts
Thanksgiving eats, Christmas treats,
New Year's: Just. Say. No.
Written 1 Jan 2020
BELLIGERENCE AND SUBLIMATION ...
The difference is this:
The man is always
ready to explode in punches,
or bullets...
The woman always
exploding into a smile,
in a caress ...
When the soul is sublimated,
the punch changes
in a gentle wiggle,
and the bullet in delicious
caramel kiss, captivating
and audacious
Walk the line
All the time
Don’t do bad
Or be too glad
For moderation is needed
And your appetite not exceeded
These are the rules to live by
Go ahead and try.

om dead Jesus raised
were dumfounded and amazed
His honor we praised
vituperative
in Congress what they revive
they need to survive
had stood on a bench
were uneasy and did flinch
when killer would lynch
should hear choir sing
along us they had to string
our lunch we did bring
from my deduction
sermon docturnal instruction
in mass production
Does that sound familiar
coming from Episcopalian
priest.
homily should be
God from our sins will set free
possessed by you and me
lack of ammunition
milk toast inquisition
Mueller apprehension
much moderation
does exist in new nation
by God creation
with God always agrees
will satisfy and appease
pray to on our knees
Moderation is the child of just thinking and the grandchild of wisdom.

Recently has got me thinking...
Why do I resort to drinking?
Is it because I am lonely,
Feeling like a one and only?
Is it subject to depression
Or some personal oppression?
Maybe because it is legal?
Does it soar me like an eagle
For a short time there about
Until I come to passing out?
Ultimately, it's a choice
Spoken in a certain voice
That for me turns into habit
The more that I decide to grab it.
Cans, bottles, shots and schooners
Lately downed sooner and sooner.
Words that give me some salvation...
"Everything in moderation".
I will apply them in the end...
But until then - cheers, my friend.
Lack of moderation in carnal pleasures condemns one to suffer great pains!

The above Monoku applies more to carnal pleasures. I see it from the ethical point of view.
