Notes About The Poem

 

Fiction poem for rhyming nonet contest

A Visit To Weight Watcher's

Weigh
today ...
Dare I say
ate huge buffet
followed by sorbet
Guess I got lead astray ....
(was dining with best friend Faye)
I’m anxious what the scales will say -
lost over a kilo - that’s okay!

So incredibly funny, and I have been to Weight Watchers. So I understand fully what is going on here. Clapping now.

Help! There seems no way to escape the calories. Perhaps we should get weighed before we eat... Thanks for giving us some great laughs, Jan. Best wishes in the contest. Hugs, Carolyn
