Pat Adams Poet Quatrain

Back On the Wagon

Lately, I'm trying to diet
There's a lot of pain in fitness
All the tasty foods are taboo
Tell me, can I get a witness?

Standing on scales Saturday
Was my motivation to try
But without my chocolate sundae
I don't know but that I might die!

All the famous diet "Guru's" 
Cast shade on the foods that I love
There's no way you can convince me
Cheeseburgers are not from above!

Not pushed, I jumped off the wagon
Thinking, "I'm not really that fat!"
I decided to leave it be
I thought, "Yes I can live with that!"

Then shortly there after I hear,
Across the street in a wee voice
"Hey mommy, look at that fat man!"
So......back on the wagon's my choice!

Chris Green November 27, 2019 at 9:59 AM Once again your humor is wonderful. Just curious, does that diet include beer because if not, forget it. : ) Pat Adams November 27, 2019 at 3:02 PM Yeah, I heard that. I don't drink like I used to. Now I use a funnel!! (Not really) but I do enjoy a brewsky now and then!.......pat

Na Na November 27, 2019 at 9:08 AM Hi Pat. I have a very high metabulism. I have been blessed to stay at the weight I``ve been at for a long time. It not easy to stay on a routine of losing weight. Motivation helps big time. Good luck my friend. Thanks for sharing this Pat Adams November 27, 2019 at 3:00 PM No problem. I was like that too but things happen I guess. At the most I was up to 230. Now I'm at 205 so at six foot I guess that's not really too bad but the poems must go on. Know what I mean?!..............80)
