Slimmer World
My diet is fucked o'er Christmas fayre
the Yuletide table filled with tasty treats
with lack of will I can not yet prepare
to turn temptation from such sweeter meats.
A tin of ginger soldiers I declined
despite their hold upon my tongues desire
and Stollen cake in supermarket find
sets the glutton underneath my flesh afire.
I do my best to stick to simpler food
refrain from filling up my seasonal cart
but end-of-season gatherings intrude
Black Cherry Gateaux and a chocolate heart.
But greatest falling-off-the-diet temptation
I eat a box of dates from far-off nation
