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!
*****
William Blake said “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom “ – it doesn’t – it leads to heartburn!!!
