A Seasonal Ditty.

By Bernie Bell

 (Other antacids are available)

I shouldn’t have had that cheesecake

I’d had more than enough to eat.

Now, here I am, lying a-wake

With heart-burn

I just cannot sleep.

*****

I’ve spent some time tossing and turning

I’ve tried breathing steady and slow

But nothing would settle the torment

So, off to the kitchen I go

To munch on an old-faithful – Rennie

And soon the ease started to flow.

*****

The fire goes out

Nice and steady

Soon, soothed is my burning heart

And I’m thinking that maybe the next time

I’ll stick to some plain apple tart!
