Fatty

dusty was the scale, under the bathroom sink
all it needed to work, were two bare feet
 and it would tell the tale 
 and tell the tale true 
a bit portly, bending over just to see

I hate the scales, but this was a cool Limerick, telling the truth of most of our lives...

My friend, Sacre Bleu literally translated only means sacred blue, but we were taught in French class that it is used as a term of profanity in Europe. I could not bring myself to put profanity in my poem, though I suspect that's what the contest sponsor wanted when assigning me that theme. You'll never see profanity in my poetry, just as you don't use it in yours! Love you, Carolyn

Yeah I think I will just leave that dusty scale under that sink. It does not want to know what these two feet are carrying. God Bless Phyl
