CHUBBY PRIDE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the mirror, young Sol took a peek,
his reflection made him feel quite weak.
     With a belly so round,
     he let out a horrible sound!
“Oh dear, I’ve been too nutty this week!”

“But nuts are so tasty,” he sighed,
as he gazed at his fluffy backside.
     With a chuckle, he swore,
     "I’ll just eat one more,
And embrace my chubby pride!"

Yep, my scale broke about two weeks ago...and have wisely decided not to replace it. Delightful poem! A FAV!
