Chat Among Storks

Seven well-fed storks complained of being too fat, so they started a chat. " Why do small robins fly fast and are happier?" " Are they healthier?" Mother stork replied, " Do what they do...fly further and you'll be thinner!" The drab storks refused to take her advice: to fly like them and not die.

Your poem gave me a great chuckle, Andrew. Mama stork had some good advice and I hope she passes it along to the mothers of overweight children. Most of the children I know have become couch potatoes. I fear for their future. Excellent work here! Congratulations on your win. Love, Carolyn
