A light poem about a weighty matter.
The Dieters’ Lament
Calories should not count after sundown.
Even Ramadan requires no more than
a daylight fast. After twelve hours of
being holy, we swear this doughnut will
be our last. To deny us that is just
not fair. If a sinner can be blessed for
a deathbed conversion, can’t a saint be
forgiven an eleventh hour éclair?
