Howard Kerr Poet Footle

Diet Of Weightiness

Ounces
pounces

Quite trim
so slim

Sore limb
at gym

Fight flab
with jab

Weight gain
insane

Weight  lost
embossed
 
Shed pounds
in mounds

Too thin
won’t win

Body
shoddy
 
 Real  stout
 no doubt

So lean
my scene

Perspire
don’t tire

Diet
riot

Food fad
sounds mad

Sweet treat
defeat

Whole grain
sustain

Eat clean
routine

Green veg
has edge

Pure health
best wealth

Digest
what’s best

Fruit  shoot
deep root

Salad
valid 

Porridge
forage 

Junk nosh
tosh tosh

Cow’s milk
lip silk

soya
oh yeah

Light meals
appeals

Relapse
perhaps

Need luck
have pluck

Stay fit
that’s it

Sara Kendrick March 12, 2026 at 6:57 AM You have included some ways to help keep the body fit and in shape which work when you are young enough to do them, and some people continue doing all of them up until the very end. I am sure this was not so easy to write then again sometimes a poet gets on a roll. Sara K Howard Kerr March 12, 2026 at 10:42 AM "Thanks once again for your review. Sara. It was a quick project for me to an extent. Things do become more complex when writing more than 10 footles, at least in my case. Howard

Andrea Dietrich March 12, 2026 at 12:01 AM Some of these that completely rhymed were brilliant. You came up with a great theme for your footle set
