Gloomy Day Blues

Winter is coming on and the light, sunny days are replaced with foggy, rainy days. People, I in particular, tend to get the "Gloomy Day Blues." The symptoms have shown up in how I have been feeling constantly tired, I suppose all the extra school work and filled up weekends helped with that. But now my school work has lessened up and I have decided to try to conquer these Gloomy Day Blues. One way, is that I have began jogging again which I have had to stop due to school work. Exercise does help give you more energy and brighten up a day and ward off the Gloomy Day Blues. Here is a poem in honor of all those who brave the cold, winter air to get outside and exercise, though I have to admit it isn't real poetry. For those who don't plan to, you can enjoy the poem for its own sake to brighten up your day. It is by an unknown author. I would recommend you read the original poem first: "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost. Here is instead, "Stopping by the Bakery on a Hungry Evening" with apologies to Robert Frost:

Whose cakes these are, I think I know,

His Condos in the city though,

He will not see me stop to stare,

At every croissant and eclair.

My running shoes must think it queer,

To pause with all these pastries here,

My diets barely started, but still,

I feel a weakening of my will.

The cashier says, "What would you like?"

Forgive me exercising bike!

Cream puffs I think, just a box of twenty,

Wait! One doughnut hole is plenty.

Oh, whipped creams lushes white and deep,

But I have diet vows to keep,

And miles to jog before I sleep!

And miles to jog before I sleep!

What are your ways to keep from the Gloomy Day Blues?
