My husband is like a ripening pumpkin Loves to lie down inert on the ground, most of the time. Lack of exercises has made his belly bloat, Like pumpkin, that now he looks a comic sight. A pumpkin carved in shape with a light inside, Serves as an adornment in Halloween season. Though funny to view, he is beautiful inside, With a light shining bright all through the seasons. As the pumpkins are so versatile and can be put to use, In making a number of dishes, both sweet and savory, He has multi talents and adds so much of spice to my life, That without him, I will be like a flat tyre with no spare!

So let me take a moment to acknowledge your picture, something I can't see while judging a contest. With your logic I could also compare my husband to a pumpkin. Congrats on your win in my contest.

Your analogy is fantastic and amusing...very well crafted. I appreciated the fun and cleverness of your poetry, dear Valsa. I encounter overweight individuals everywhere, and especially in the states. One should feel sympathy for individuals afflicted with thyroid-related medical conditions

Great poem. I think he should get up and walk once a while. The rule is: for every hour of idling, walk at leat quarter hour.
