It’s Donut Day in the USA Forget the dieting for today Sugary and sweet And rough on one’s teeth For just one day don’t fret o’er decay.

Beryl. I have to make this one a FAV)) wwhat makes it good to me, anyway, is the absence of forced cleverness.barf… thats akin to a stand up comedian, telling us one corn ball joke after another but none are funny to me.. i feel the same toward ANY canned laughter on Sitcoms! Impressive vocabulary leaves me dead as a doornail.)) Thus, warm words work wonders! Awesomely penned. Pangie xx

One day, one bite or two won't hurt. I agree. We need to enjoy the moment sometimes and dance with unhealthy things. We need a mix of them to be good.

Thank you Tonye, I agree we need to indulge ourselves sometime, a little of what we fancy does us good, ‘The dance of the Unhealthy’ sounds like a good title for a poem.. Beryl
