CHUBBY PRIDE

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!"

Hi Sara, may I use a few lines from this poem for Crystol's Cento contest (I'm not sure my Soupmail went through).

Thanks for the warmth of your smiles :) Wishing you an idyllic weekend filled with gentle whispers of nature and the quiet joy of simple moments. Quite amusing and wise, at this stage of life, we ought to mind our fare, dear Sara.
