Going To Waist

Soda, ice cream, chips and pizza I love the way they taste But every time I bring some home They end up going to waist My wife screams are you eating again You’d better heed my warning I said, no, I’ve only eaten once But I started early this morning There’s something wrong with you The way you eat your meals with such haste I guess I’m in a hurry to get rid of the food Because I know it’s going to waist Don’t sit there eating everything in sight And smiling trying to act so coy You’re the only person I know gets a greeting card From the Pillsbury dough boy Sorry if my eating habits seem to make you cry I’ll slow down and only over eat on days that end in Y. Not funny, not funny she said Her face as red as a beet When I asked her to check if my socks matched Because I couldn’t see my feet Another day in Paradise To the dinner table I raced I guess that all that food she made Will soon be going to waist.

Luckily my acid reflux has kept me from eating things that go to waist. The humor is great in this piece....the whole 'waist' thing is a great play on words. By the way, thanks for your comment on An Unlikely Husband! :)

Vince my dear friend seems we suffer from the same affliction - I reckon eating is just another addiction I'll be needing to face - God Bless you Vince, MJ

Oh, Vince, you are so witty! Just this morning I was thinking of breaking my diet and buying a chocolate bunny. I think you've inspired me to stick with it; bikini season is just around the corner here in Florida. I keep a photo of myself in a swimsuit on my refrigerator door. It works for me (well, most of the time). Love your poetry! Carolyn

Ha ha! Why is it all the really good food is so bad for you? Not fair!!! Vince, you are so adorable and I cannot imagine your wife getting so angry when you most likely come back to her with lines like these. Still, I can relate, as I am constantly trying to get my husband to be careful - it's just that we worry, as you well know. Going to copy this and read it to my hubby later and we will both crack up! Thanks for the smile! So clever and well written! Love, Shar

Really funny, I like the word usage waist instead of waste-ingenious
