Yes dessert
You had me at hello
You know
I can’t resist
No matter how hard I try
And yet
I’ve been good this year
I’ve tried to avoid snacking
I’ve hidden the bad stuff
I put the good stuff at eye level
And these tricks have worked
Because
You won’t believe it
But my clothes fit again
And it’s hard to believe
But if you eat more vegetables
You tend to stay in good shape
But now
Dessert is calling
And I won’t deprive myself
But I will in fact
Eat my dessert
Slowly
Methodically
Patiently
And savor every bite
As I sip some coffee
Or white wine
Depending on what kind
Of day it was
After all
We all have our vices
