Gym'Ll Fix It

Tasty food passes my lips
Fat begins to show
Settling on my bum and hips
I am feeling low

Heading out towards the gym
Exercising hard
Work out done – I look so slim
In my leotard!

Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/2/2015 10:37:00 AM and do tell, what is the hidden meaning of "gym'll fix it" I just took it as a play on the name Jim! Everytime I go to the gym, Joe asks me how was Jim? when I come home! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 5/2/2015 12:30:00 PM There was a TV programme in the UK called Jim'll fix it - the presenter was a man called Jimmy Saville - I will say nothing other than google his name and you will see he fell from grace and there has been a massive fallout from it:-( Hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/2/2015 10:36:00 AM Jan, thanks so much for the "catch" on my triolet. I hope Isaiah has not taken a look at it yet and eliminated me for missing that one line. I had it written down and just forgot to type it Thanks again. I would never have caught it. good luck with your last two stanzas. What kind of poem are you doing? Triolets are the easiest of the options he gave us.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/2/2015 12:54:00 AM the title is awesome!!! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 5/2/2015 4:51:00 AM The Brits on the site will understand the humour in the title - there used to be a TV show called Jim'll fix it :-) Hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/2/2015 12:53:00 AM OH, Jan, I was wondering if this was yours!! The second stanza was perfect. but the word "passes" threw off the beat in line one. I think this is great humor. Love it! And congratulations for your win.
