A Dieter's Prayer

During the last week we have been experiencing heavy rain with lightening. So whenever I was unable to stitch or sit at the computer, I read some old books. In one of the Riders Digest I found an interesting poem which you too will enjoy.

A dieter’ prayer for the holidays:

Lord, grant me the strength that I may not fall

Into the clutches of cholesterol.

At polyunsaturates, I’ll never mutter,

For the road to hell is paved with butter.

And cake is cursed and cream is awful

And Satan is hiding in every waffle.

Beelzebub is a chocolate drop

And Lucifer is a lollipop.

Teach me the evils of hollandaise,

Of pasta and gobs of mayonnaise.

And crisp fried chicken from the South—

Lord if you love me shut my mouth.

-Quoted by Steven A Pickert, M D, in Organic Gardening.

Here is some more pictures of my trip to North of Sri Lanka.
