Limerick In My Pocket

This year I will lose weight I do think No matter how hard too I will shrink But what shall I not eat I don’t like anything sweet This year I won’t lose weight I do think… No cakes pass my lips no sweeties I eat I eat some fish and a little red meat What do I let go west Perhaps a tighter vest Will help the fat to slip down to my feet… No luck I tried, my vest is now too wide I tuck it into my pants at the side That made them unsightly There’s no more twice nightly Hoist them as a sail, and leave on the tide… My new years wishes and hopes are now gone We have not even reached day number one I am paying the toll For each nice sausage roll My hopes and man, have set sail in the sun… My vest sailed out to sea, now what shall I do? My chest in the winter perhaps will turn blue If you have an idea You can whisper it here There may be something to keep warm we can do… © ~GG~ 28/12/2012 Entry For G Rix's Limerick In my Pocket contest

mandy, this is really funny. It got better and better and I loved the ending about the vest as a sail and then the chest turning blue!! Glad I saw this. I was wondering if we could write more than one of them for the contest!

Enjoyed your poem. I can't advise on losing weight / For I have tried as well / to put very little on my plate / but indulge in caramel.

Lol, I whisper to you Mandy "let's have that piece of cheesecake". That would brighten the mood. And then we can go to Starbucks and get a hot chocolate. That would warm you up. Enjoyed it :)
