An Ode to the Winter Body

winter body is here
it’s soft and its round
its leaner spring cousin, no where to be found
every winter it happens, no muss and no fuss
i wake up one morning and there’s that cute gut

the time on the treadmill is all for naught
and the kale in the fridge for that juicer I bought
it’s no match for cakes, bread crackers and cheese
are you pouring red? yes another glass please.

it’s here for a reason, that snow on the ground
I don’t feel the season with these extra pounds

winter body is here, and at first I don’t mind
we’ve got long sweaters to cover behind
and elastic waist pants are so fashionable now
one can still look good when one feels like a cow
