A walk in the park

Five days a week without fail

Slow but sure results.

Shake and a shimmy

To the music in my ears

Three extra cals lost.

My thighs nowadays

Sing songs of separation

Erm, from each other.

My old button-ups

Love the loss of two inches

Less to suck-it-in.

Green, green everywhere

Marvel at the foliage

Never see the grass.

Some things never change

My kindergarten teacher

Is still 'Miss' to me.

She sits on a bench

Smiling at the years gone by

And the world she knew.

Resplendent in red

Not a wrinkle mars her face

Stop. Good evening, Miss.

Men with nagging wives

Time for commiseration

No blah-de-blah, bliss.

Old men with grandkids

No generation gap here

They love each other.

Huff, puff, help me, God

Help me make it home this once

Promise I won't binge.

Apple on the fridge

Bite, thank the powers-that-be

More fibre, less fat.

Head hits the pillow

Sleep be a lady tonight

Any dream will do.

Pared naked apple

I eat juicy flesh and skin

Ptooie your pits

The cooker whistles

The pulao is cooked and done

No one to eat with

Illusion, thy name

is Lindt sin on the tongue and

a firm derriere

Curd rice and pickle

Spoonfuls of it day and night

You are far away

Coffee, tea or milk

To keep you up and running

Tummy disagrees

French fries and ice cream

Not the best combination

For a fat-free frame

Baileys Irish Cream

Out of small brown coffee mugs

Ol and I get high

End Note: All 5-7-5. Hah!

Update: Look what you made me write!

Musk melon sorbet

You tempt me with promises

of my own Heaven

Golden baskets and

Ice pick and Tiramisu

Shiok anytime

Now, where's my watermelon sorbet :o)?

Any dream will do - versefully_yours
