I'm getting a tummy for Christmas
I can't keep away from the gin
the stuffing
the snacking
while doing the wrapping
are stopping my quest
to be thin

I'm getting a tummy for Christmas
now pass me that bottle of wine
I'm ordering
today
a crapload from Ebay
and pray that it gets here
on time

I'm getting a tummy for Christmas
to add to the tum from before
as candlelight
flickers
the give in my knickers
can't take all the strain
anymore

I'm getting a tummy for Christmas
the After Eights, all disappeared
along with the
Twiglets
and blankets with piglets
but I'm back on the diet
New Year!

Good guilty pleasures fun, Jo-Ann, but why feel guilty when you can make such a super and down-to-earth poem about them in this case? I'd be very surprised indeed if you don't win he challenge hands down with this one!

Hey Michael!  Thank you :-).  I wouldn't bet on it though, I loved yours!

And here's hoping Bill or some others will join.  I miss the lovely poetry community this used to be.

Not sure what we can do to bring it back?

Hahahaha. Me too! and my knickers are going to need more elastic if this goes on. I never do seem to get on the diet, do I, Jo? I always promise...every year.

Excellent poem! Got a giggle.

Great poem Jo. I don't seem to have any issues with weight, which is why I'm confused when I keep the same belt setting, where does all this flesh come from either side!
Made me laugh.
