As we said goodbye to January
And associated fads
Such as Veganuary
(In which I did not participate
Out of sympathy to vegetarians
Who surely must feel a level
Of antipathy towards vegans
Who have rather stolen their thunder)
I reflected on whether I might ever
Adopt a specific dietary practice
And adhere to it faithfully

Because I could see the benefits
Of being a little healthier in that regard
But I feel I lack the requisite willpower
To ever truly commit to such a lifestyle

I worry too that a certain tendency
Towards pedantry
Might also hold me back
After all, I am married
To a pescatarian
And I quite like fish
So should not find it too hard
To make the switch
To a sea food diet
And replace my amusingly homophonic
‘See food’ diet

But I would always be concerned
About certain details
Such as whether or not
A pescatarian
Would truly be a pescatarian
If they ever ate a shark
