Twas the Day before June First

and all through Walmart

I was getting my exercise in

while pushing the shopping cart

Reading labels for sugars and fats

cause every WLS patient knows...that is where "DUMPINGS" are at

I came across the dairy section

and my head began to crave

with hunger for the tastes of brie,

blue cheese and cheddar

Looking at the labels

must have looked a sight

or maybe it was the expression of confusion

that indicated my mind full of fright

Should I get garlic and herb

or swiss or sharp cheddar

or brie or blue

or maybe some fetter (fetta I know...but it has to rhyme)

Astonished and dejected

I turned from the counter

headed for the checkout

Oh, I JUST WANT A QUARTER POUNDER!!

When who to my wandering eyes did appear??

It was JAMIE!! .

Our Fearless Support Group Leader

Without the Reigndeer

After a short greeting

she looked in my hand

and scolded me for not sipping

Oh MAN Oh MAN!

When I explained that the water

was in the shopping cart

I asked about the cheese selection

Jamie, where should I start?

she answered my question

with veteran-ese ease

I turned my head to stiffle

a short little sneeze (not really...but it had to rhyme)

How much I hate walmart

with all of its aisles

but soon I will be able to shop there

and don "faded Glory" styles

Now the end of this rhyme

is sure to conclude

just one more thing...

I hate to be rude...

to those shopping for cheese

might I suggest

purchase the Light brand of LAUGHING COW CHEESE

It is the best!
