A Diet Ditty

No longer will l sin Treat my temple like a bin Shoving all and sundry in So l will bear and grin Take it on the chin To be happy in my skin Be healthy within No more biscuits from the tin Against the bulge l will win Today l will begin To do and feel better!

The diets in the bin, the biscuits are in my tin.. that works much better for me until the weight starts to creep up. So will save this as a good reminder. Emilia : )

Well, you appear to have more willpower than I, Deb. I always promise I'll start tomorrow. And one of these days I'm sure I will.

I wish I can do thet. The biscuits become sweet cookies here, hard to resit. I will try my best to resist the temptation. Very nice poem.

I constantly try to keep my weight in line, though I am thin. I'm just kind of wondering, what kind of biscuits are in the bin? It makes me hungry. Lol.

Dear Deb, your wonderful poem is a delightfully witty ode to healthy living! The playful rhymes and determined tone make getting fit feel fun. From ditching the biscuit tin to winning against the bulge, you inspire me with humor. This energetic piece will have readers ready to "begin" their own journeys with a grin. A tasty treat for mind and body! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
