Wednesday #Poetry: Foolish, Mercy, Relish

Welcome to my regular Wednesday poetry corner, brought to you by Three Word Wednesday and One Shot Wednesday.

Today's words are Foolish, Mercy, Relish.

'Twas foolish (with waistline expanding)
To eat with such relish commanding.
Though he knew he'd feel worse, he
said, "Good lord have mercy!
These chili-cheese dogs are outstanding!"

    Thanks for reading, guys! I LOVE chili cheese dogs, but, alas, I cannot eat them in the same way I once did. Curse you, Father Time!
