MID-90'S POEM RECENTLY REDISCOVERED

I WAS GOING THROUGH SOME OLD BOOKS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND DISCOVERED A POEM I WROTE IN THE MID-1990'S. YES, IT IS SILLY-- HOPEFULLY EVEN FUNNY:

                Ode To A Christmas Fruit Cake

                Heavy rests the stomach that eats one down
                Outwardly smiles but inwardly a painful frown
                The size, the bulk, the extraordinary mass
                All skillfully blended to give you lots of gas


                Annually they make the dutiful cheery rounds
                Measured not in ounces, but in awful pounds
                Be they round, square, narrow, long or slim
                Eat just a few bites and its off to the gym


                How strange at Christmas we celebrate the Birth
                And eat something so fattening it adds to our girth
                During the balance of the year we never yet taste
                Anything so nutty and fruity that adds to our waist
