Diet -- Tried It

I once knew a husky young man named Jim
Tried every diet he could to get slim
   He even stopped eating
   Attending the meetings
Of: "Diet? Tried It ~ Just Hack Off a Limb"

G'day Gershon … yikes! A bit extreme. How would you choose what limb. Wincing or giggling; makes a good limerick - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

Great question! Wouldn't want to out on a limb and predict which one! Thanks, Gershon

Yikes! Chop off a limb & you'll be slim. Company motto. No thanks, I'll stay fat.

You're smarter than I am, Jean. When I chopped mine off, a heavier one grew back in its place --- not to mention the pain. Haha. Correction. -- Ouch! Don't do dat!! Smiles, Gershon
