Celebrate Your Wobbly Bits

As I lay upon the floor Hubby at the bedroom door Ready and steady What girl could ask for more A smile upon his face A twinkle in his eye Jogging on the spot A shy man he is not Preparing his pace I give him the nod I am ready now to go and waiting for my beau One Two Three Go, go, go… He pushes He shoves He thrusts He shunts I wiggle I waggle I jiggle I twist But still they resist We collapse on the floor exhausted and bushed we shoved and we pushed In the end we gave in As I slowly stand up All that thrusting and yanking has really worn us out So beside my open window with one almighty shout lifting up my arms I throw my Spanx* pants out I am free I can fly... For despite hubby's efforts I could not get them on Watching them fly high we both burst into song and now we love my wobbly bits in Spanx they don't belong The moral of this story is to truly celebrate those lovely cuddly wobbly bits are part of you - don't ever hate So flaunt them love them shake them all about Dress them in chiffon and let them all hang out… Written 11th August 2019 *Spanx Shapewear - That Will Make You Feel More Slender & Elegant Contest Strand Select L Sponsor Brian Strand 2nd Place

I am Ann's friend who gave her the inspiration for this hilarious write. With a broken wrist, I asked my husband to pull on the dreaded spanx, to hold all wobbly bits in before dressing me for a wedding. It was a nightmare. Ann's poem really lifted my spirits and gave me and my husband such a giggle. Bless you Ann xxxx

Oh Elizabeth, I am so pleased my poem lifted you and gave you both a giggle, for laughter is always the best medicine. It seems my little bit of nonsense has made many PS friends laugh too, which is great and I certainly l laughed when writing it. It was after reading about your Spanx that a seed was planted and then my muse just took over, haha. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Absolutely delightful, hysterically funny and loaded with the type of humor that aging demands! I loved every word in every line, I loved the rhyme and flow that didn't wiggle but did go, go and go to amuse me. You gave me the grin I'll now take with me to make dinner - thank you so much for that! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I am so very happy that my silly poem made you laugh CayCay. I wrote if for a friend who had been having trouble with the said Spanx and she too was hysterical with laughter, which is by far the best medicine. Thank you for your fab comments dear CayCay. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Haha, this is indeed a little bit of nonsense inspired by a friend's comments! I have never used the dreaded Spanx, sounds like torture to me, haha. So glad it made you smile Vijay, laughter is so good for the soul. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
