the annual ten pounds


of winter weight gain
is a timeless
tradition

it starts with

the pre Halloween candy
entire bags of candy
bought
and eaten
weeks before the holiday

to be replaced by yet another bag...

then there is
the thanksgiving feasting
few people know
the name comes from
the Latin
which translates

"Thanks!
for giving me
another five pounds"

By Christmas and New Years
all bets are off

diets are smoke
that comes from
burning
resolutions
