Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

French Fries

A giant portion of French fries
Can make a meal auspicious,
So crisp and yum but, no surprise,
Not really too nutritious.

Of course, I have to recognize
This choice is not judicious
But it is worth ballooning thighs
For something so delicious.

Rico Leffanta March 27, 2022 at 11:12 AM I never thought crisps were delicious, which is why I haven't eaten any for many, many years. I thought it was just the salt, but as you go for a walk every morning, don't worry about your thighs! Aloha!

John Watt March 26, 2022 at 10:47 PM Fries are the hardest thing to give up on a diet, for me anyway... great ode to a delicious non-nutricious staple of life - love your rhymes!

Jan Allison March 26, 2022 at 2:00 PM What a fun poem! The line about ballooning thighs made me giggle and made me glad we rarely eat fries/chips and when we have them we share them:-) hugs Jan xx
