148.0. "Holidays are coming" by BIGAPL::DAOUST () Tue Nov 03 1987 18:55

    Halloween's over, the candy will be replaced by the pies,
    Thanksgiving's coming with enough treats to reach the skies;
    The pies are replaced with Christmas cookies made with rum,
    If we could have it all, we'd all weigh a ton!                   
    
    No sooner will the pies, treats and cookies go away,
    Better tighten your will, now it's Valentine's day!
    You know what that means,  sugar and chocolate hearts,
    Now I ask you, my dear, is this any time for the diet to start?
    
    Until the Fourth of July we have a few months reprieve,
    Then the barbeques start, I know its hard to believe;
    Hamburgers, hot dogs and corn-on-the-cob,
    And ice cream from Kimballs - Are you up to the job? 
                
    Speaking of jobs, don't forget Canobie Lake,
    We'll use any excuse, if the diet's at stake.
    A whole year of temptations now this diet has seen,
    Here we are again, we're back to Halloween! 
    
    The will has been strengthened, we've tightened our belts,
    If we can get through these days, think we'll ever svelte?

148.1A poet is born!SHIRE::BIZEWed Nov 04 1987 00:278
    Great!
    
    So now we have diet poetry among our diet products... after all,
    why not: isn't it better for us to feed on spiritual rather than
    terrestrial foods?

148.2Modereration...AURA::WILLIAMSWed Nov 04 1987 04:1413
    That was great...
    
    If you really think about you are tempted to go off a diet all year
    long...but we only think of those special occassions...Just remember
    moderation is the key to anything...try to think before you eat...
    
    I'm starting to ask myself do I really want this...and sometimes
    the answer is yes and sometimes the answers is NO...I enjoy when
    I can listen to the No and take the advice....
    
    Good luck to all
