At the church I attended as a child, we were asked to give up something we liked to eat during Lent. This year I gave up French fries.

I'm eating a small bag
of bright Jellybeans
Got to finish fast
soon I'll take a leave

Won't eat Jellybeans
until Easter Day
Can't sneak even one
come what may

I usually give up something
in the season of Lent
Chocolate is too hard
I have to lament

I cut down a little
on all candy for a reason
It's my sacrifice
to understand this season

That's a cute poem. We all have those little vices that we love that are hard to give up. I guess Lent is a good excuse to try.

I've been fasting every other day to lose a little bit of tummy and because it's good for my health. But I'm tempted by some of my everyday snacks to sneak a little bit of them while fasting. I'm already seeing benefits after a couple of months. And feeling better, too.
