Will Power


by Jen

From back in the pantry, behind the tomatoes,
Somewhere between the dried beans and alfredo
It's tempting me, begging me for some attention-
And soon I'm afraid I might need intervention!
We first got acquainted in aisle 5-B
I couldn't resist how it called out to me
Touting variety and quantity
What a deal! What a steal! So it came home with me.
I'd take it to church for the ward trunk-or-treat
Then save it for neighborhood children to eat
I started by saying I'd sample just one,
But when I broke the seal, it was over and done.

O, Hallowe'en Candy, my family's bane. . .
Next year we'll do it all over again.

That was awesome! clap.gif


Snickers, Butterfinger, Milky Way...
Wanna come over and make my day?
m&m's, Reese's, Almond Joy, Mounds...
You're really helping me put on the pounds.
Tootsie rolls, Kisses, Three Musketeers...
When I'm with you I forget all my fears.
Smarties, Redvines, Kitkats, too...
I can't decide if I love or hate you.

Yesterday, because of stress,
I ate five ding-dongs
And a Hostess Cupcake
Today I brought to work
A Book of Mormon.
Every time I had a craving,
I read a passage.
I didn't eat any Ding Dongs...
But I did have a cupcake.

Evil Cupcake.

In a town where decent folk lived
An ancient evil came to play
The twinkies, they got twisted
Children enslaved that very day

Until

Will Power

Rode into that town
on his subsonic turbo battle tank
The evil now goes down
from Will Power's fist and feet

Be the first
on your block
To own the coolest
hero around

Will Power

subsonic turbo battle tank and accessories sold seperately.

Jen, that poem rings so true in my home through the years! Very great word choice and rhythm too!

(mine was actually a true story, btw. My wife and I were talking about how scriptures help us fight addictions (dunno why), and she suggested, "well tubby, if you think they work, take them along with work and see if it helps you avoid snacking so much at work..." (at work they have free snacks...))

*****interesting note ray...*****

for the last few weeks my"walking" has been really difficult to accomplish every day because of my pain levels... so I added the Book of Mormon mp3 files that I have stored on my PDA... I plug in my headphones and walk to some of my favorite passages... it's actually made all the difference for me. I am still walking which I consider a personal miracle...

ray- Your wife actually calls you "tubby"?? weirdface.gifrofl.gif

What do you call her? (Maybe I shouldn't ask...)


A Ding Dong's Prayer

Please give me patience to wait my turn
Hiding the habits that in me burn
Let me be wanted beyond reason
Sort of like that actor, Liam Neeson
My desire for consumption is strong today
If ray just sees me, I'll make his day
He thinks if he reads, he's stronger than I
That's fine and dandy 'till I catch his eye
All of a sudden it just matters not
He's all done with dating, why should he look hot?
He works so hard and deserves a lift
Chocolate with cream is my usual gift
One little me - that's really not bad
That first lish bite - he'll be so glad
Swallowing finally, he'll shrug and say
Guess I'll be strong another day.

I walked and I walked and I walked some more,
But where my walkin' took me was an actual bore.
'Til I invited the scriptures on my walk... oh boy,
Now I walk with Nephi 'n Moroni, what joy!!!

This life is my test, they tell me each week,
In the meetings, AND writings... those scriptures I seek.
Ugh, I cannot at times understand why my trek,
Is so physically painful and studded with blekkk.

Still I kept walkin' and walkin' and walkin' some more,
'when my daughter says, "mom y'ur like our family of yore".
They too knew not where their waking would take 'em,
But they got to their Zion ev'n though some were shak'en.

Y'ur example's been important to me through my life,
Please don't give up now, though I know it's plain strife.
Here... let me walk with you and give you some push'in.
Guess I'll never really know who'll be watch'in my wish'in...

Coco: I usually call her "My Lucious Lump of Love!"

Polly: Great idea! Thanks for sharing! I find the Book of Mormon gets me through traffic without any bad words. :)
