Holiday Goodies

Upon pondering Christmas time
I like to think of cheese and wine
but this year I could not yield my mind
from thinking of the sugary food we wield.
We chew and gorge on dainty delights
as our waistbands grow and pants get tight.

There is one Holiday icon who fits the bill
eating cookies til' he gets his fill.
We endear our children to his jolly girth,
his 'belly full of jelly', his laugh 'full of mirth'
See how we use such 'cute' phrases when describing
a fat man on a road to health malaise's.

Why don't we say, "Here comes the man with junk in his trunk."
or ask rhetorical questions about the chimney size and his ba-dunk-a-dunk?
Maybe it's a ploy of the politically correct,
full of hypocrisy and word dialect.

Ahh!

It doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the long run.
Just enjoy all the goodies until the Holiday is done,
and revel in the spirit of Christmas fun!

Now go grab a cookie!
