Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Flabby But Fit

I'm flabby but fit
    At a bar I sit
  I play my guitar
    then squeeze into my car

  I'm dumb but I'm smart
    I buy modern art
  then I load up my cart
    to sell at flea mart

  I'm happy but sad
    'cos 2 + 2 I can't add
  Thought I'd reached nadir
    Pop bought me calculator

  I'm old but I'm young
    Come see my tongue
  Taste buds still sprout ~ 
    That's why my tummy sticks out

Heidi Sands July 29, 2023 at 8:18 AM Funny,, creative poem Gershon! Well done :) Gershon Wolf July 29, 2023 at 8:19 PM I'm trying to turn 'flabby but fit' into a 'fabulous flit.' Wutcha think? ~ gw

Shirley Hawkins July 28, 2023 at 6:02 PM You are flabby but fit, That's 'cos you sit Scribing away, At clever poetry all-day Using your fit brain To expel anger and pain Perhaps, you overeat, To give your body a treat And give momentary relief From the Worlds troubles and grief. Gershon Wolf July 29, 2023 at 8:20 PM Yeah, you're right. All I do is sit, sit, sit. That's going to change RIGHT ---- tomorrow...

Kim Rodrigues July 28, 2023 at 5:40 PM That last verse is a hoot! Gershon Wolf July 29, 2023 at 8:22 PM Owl bet I know why -- you're picturing my tummy, aren't you?! ~ Six-pack Hidden There Somewhere

Sam Kauffman July 28, 2023 at 12:26 PM This Gershon at his best! Teacher of life's wisdom through humor! Truly life is ambivalent opposition. Thanks for the lesson in humbling humanity! Summer blessings of joy and laughter to you! Ogden would be proud! Gershon Wolf July 28, 2023 at 3:59 PM That's right: Ole Gersh at his best -- Flabby as ever! lol. Thanks, Sam!

John Lawless July 28, 2023 at 5:19 AM AH, the confluence of age and acceptance... Gershon Wolf July 28, 2023 at 3:59 PM Age and acceptance, akin to farts and flatulence...

Sara Kendrick July 28, 2023 at 3:03 AM Yes, we reach a point where we are old but we are still young at heart and in some ways in health then it all goes south. Thanks for sharing these with us and for dropping by my pages. Sara

Paul Bell July 28, 2023 at 1:47 AM Think you've just categorised the whole world. Everyone adapts to their strengths and eventually gets to where they're going at some point. In saying that, just watching a guy cutting his hedge with scissors. lol Gershon Wolf July 29, 2023 at 8:28 PM Will do, Paul! ~ Hedgehog
