CHRISTMAS AT THE CONDO

December brings us Christmas cheer, We celebrate together,
Our building has a banquet room, For cozy indoor weather.
Connie heads our social group, She makes the banquet plans,
We are glad to volunteer, Together willing hands.

It's fun to work together, Like family days of yore,
Special foods the season brings, Are part of Christmas lore.
Speaking of the foods we make, some wave or make a speech.
Some brag about their benefits, Lets hear a word from each.

The salad waves a willing wing, And modestly implies,
I'm digestion's expert here, Would I ever lie?
And while I do all that for you, A line-up starts within,
Every body cell speaks up, Enzymes are coming in!

Cranberries proudly paint the scene, On tables and on plates,
With small amounts of sweetness mixed, To make a perfect date.
We all make a dandy team, And work so well together,
Like the folks preparing us, We're here in any weather.

Sir Tryptophan rings the bell, And prancing, joins the group,
At Christmas, turkey is the best, That day and next day's soup.
We turkeys are a great protein, (He bows to all the crew,)
Who roast us, slice us, share with all, In everything they do.

We join up with the gravies, vegetables and greens,
Connie's drained all fat away, It even won't be seen.
Desserts with guilty smiles wave, Some small amounts won't hurt,
Keep healthy all the season through, With you we always flirt.

Some carbs sharpen up the brain, Food science adds their word,
Through study and a balance act, With exercise we've heard.
Mix it all with music notes, Harps, violins, guitars,
Any kind to tap your feet, The great folks that you are.
