The bakers shop, end of January.

You go in  to buy bread,

standing there in the queue

you glance at the cakes,

buns and sausage rolls.

You resolved to lose

weight in the New Year,

but Oh! The temptations of

cream buns that look so good.

Temptation, but what harm

could one do? But NO!

I will stay firm - I will turn

away. Oh!! Sausage rolls.

Or, maybe a small Quiche?

That would have fewer calories.

Or maybe not, flapjack could

have less? Oh! It’s my turn.

“Um! Can I have a cream

bun please, Oh! and yes,

a sausage roll in a bag.

and a chocolate eclair, please.

What did I come in for?

Oh! Yes, it was bread!”
