When you feel you're bought and sold. And you are tired of being told. To do this and to do that. Guess what, I'll bet that you are getting fat. :)

I absolutely love this poem. Made me smile and even laugh a bit. Well put together. I'm only in my 20's and have a few years to go, but the way you wrote this poem is absolutely amazing. Love the "healthcare's latest trends" part a lot. Thanks for putting a smile on my face. Great piece Ilene:) Hugs "B" Wait gotta read it again xx
