This week The Prompt over at MumturnedMom is “Everything in Moderation.” In response I wrote this silly poem:
On Moderation
“Everything in Moderation”
Sounds a sensible quotation
Except if it means deprivation
Of types of sugary confection.
For if I had to keep away from
Items of a sweet persuasion
There would be much lamentation
And perhaps some aggravation.
So – I vote that moderation
Bears precisely no relation
To cakes and sweets of delectation
For that’s the way to satisfaction.
Love it! I agree, cakes and sweets are the way to satisfaction. I just wish they didn’t make me put on weight, and then feel grumpy about that. #ThePrompt
Thanks Leigh. Yes if only sweets had the calorific content of celery! Xx
I’m trying to cut out sugar ……. but I love the stuff when I am writing *smiles*. :o)
Yes I like to have something tasty on the go while I’m writing though I do have to exercise restriant! Moderation is really the ‘right’ option let’s face it – the poem just had other ideas when i was writing it. Thanks for commenting. Xx
This made me smile all the way through! The phrasing and rhyming makes the poem dance along, brilliant. Fantastic take on #ThePrompt, thanks so much for linking up x
Thanks Sara – I love the idea of the poem dancing along! Thanks for another fab prompt. x
Another great little ditty my lovely… traditional cakes and treats are a complete no go for me, but I completely appreciate the sentiment xxx #ThePrompt
Thanks although, yes, it did occur to me that I’d written a GAPS intolerant poem!
Ha! So perfectly put
Thanks Carol!
Confection perfection.
Love the lighthearted tone x
What a poetic comment! x
