Friendly Temptation

Aunt Bessie will bring seven pies
for Thanksgiving. And her feelings
will be hurt if you don't try several.
Grandmother doesn't believe
in moderation on special days
and will not rest until you've eaten
plenty of calories for two weeks
on your food plan. Resentments?
Probably. But it's better to resent them
for offering than to resent yourself
for accepting.
