Pear and Fresh Air

My hubby came home with a grin Said “I’ve booked us a trip to Turin” I found my bikini it looked oh so teeny now I’m fasting to fit myself in I cut out the chocolate and cake well apart from one tiny mistake on my diet of pear gently poached in fresh air I should soon be as thin as a rake But my efforts were sadly in vain My wobbly bits were for stayin They just wouldn’t budge So I brought out the fudge ate it all, now I’m praying for rain

hahaha, this was so much fun, Sharon :) You sure have a knack for writing limericks, and I'm sure you'd do well in the contest--actually I can't help but feel that you'd be in the winner's circle a lot here, that would be the coolest thing! Do enter that concrete poem of yours--the one with the umbrella? hope you can make it to the deadline :) catch you soon! just trying to sneak in some online time here ;)
