Just realized I had rhymed the whole thing, so i had to go through and make sure the lines did not rhyme for "blank verse." Good grief!

I often binge on things, but not bad things. I like good movies or good TV shows. I choose to binge on things that me glad. Ten hours straight through is not too long for me! I’ll binge on drama series and won’t stop until I’m nodding off. I only need a weekend of free time. I like to sit! I also binge on reading lovely books. I used to binge on shopping for good deals. I’d go to thrift shops finding things like tops or purses, dresses, pants, or nice high heels. Great bargains make me do a happy dance! I rarely hunt for used things any more. Some things I wear today are vintage clothes. My spouse would love to throw them out the door! But things I love – I just can’t part with those. I binge on writing poetry sometimes although I do not write that way too much. But once I wrote ten poems all in rhyme and did all of those poems in one day. I used to binge on exercise when I was teaching classes at the local gym. But problems make that difficult these days. I sure do miss the days I had more zeal! Because I cannot exercise as much as I once did, on food I have not binged the way I used to, and I must not eat potato chips, for I can't eat just one! One final thing which I love binging on would be the precious friendships I have formed. With sisters and dear friends, there’s plenty of my time to binge on them! Love never ends.
