Jan Allison Poet Footle

Notes About The Poem

Diet Footles

Sweet tooth
In youth

On scales
She WAILS!

Hot date
Lose weight

Diet?
Try it

Big eyes
Large thighs

Fat tum
Huge bum

Gobbles…
Wobbles

In mood
For food

Crunchies
Munchies

Wants choc -
Whole block!

Adore
Fridge door

Keeps shut
With butt

Risk it ...
Biscuit

Crispbread?
Drop dead!

Think thin
As pin

Eats less ...
New dress

Now slim
And trim

Look great
For date
