26th December 2024

 

Fence people worship the light


foggy morning

dogs racing down the garden

Christmas puddings

and now I find myself with paper blank

with yet no thoughts on how to fill with type 

and though with Christmas treats my diet tanks

I fall prey to online advertising hype.

Investing thirty pounds I didn't have 

with quarterly seductions on my card

I sign up to a daily weight loss plan

involving dance, which can't be all that hard.

For in the life before, ere Covid hit

I joined a Zumba class and danced in line

enjoyed it, more or less, and became fit

and moderated intake of my wine.

   With Boxing Day excesses still ahead

   I'll brave once more the dancing of the dead.
