As Chubs Run

As Chubs Run Chubs run like marathon winners Laden with potato sacks Heavy legs, aching backs Rolls of fatty flapping Slap Slap slapping Huffing to get thinner ***Susan Burch*** *Won 7th place in "Anagrammatically Speaking" contest

I'm glad this was featured. Undoubtedly I would have overlooked it, to my loss. While I can't say the word picture is pretty, it is pretty accurate. And that makes it a winner. - Chuck

susan, kept looking around and just falling on poems I'd already seen.Anyway, I sure do like this one that I'd seen before. You are good with funny poems! YOur mail isn't in junk mail. I wonder why I couldn't get it. Sometimes it's the server people use. One time a friend could not get her mail to me.
