Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Gym'Ll Twix It

My Maltesers class is complete
A Star Bar move was quite a feat
I’m craving a curry
A Flake, or Mcflurry
Sweetcorns hurt the soles of my feet!
 
In the gym I perfect a Star Burst
Sixteen Little Moons lifts hurt the wurst
Then somebody Snickers
At my Fruitang knickers
Need Time Out, I must quench my thirst!
 
Club Biscuit tin dips, I ache bad
Twelve After Eight lunges I’ve had
My Mini Milk knees
Have dimples like cheese
I’m puff pastry panting like mad!
 
The Dunkin Donut pool’s so chilli
My Pink Wafer costume looks silly
I do the Wispa bar flop
A Fizzyfish, then I stop
I’m Revel-ling time out from Billy!
 
The Bounty is I did not pay -
My mother’s day treat from Sun Ray
A Kool-aid gift for ‘Mars’
Treated like Lucky Stars
I'm cream crackered all of Sundae!

A merger with food poetry contest

Natasha L Scragg July 2, 2022 at 6:37 AM A fantastic play on words and food. Even the title. Brilliant! Congratulations on making a first placement and thank you for entering the contest. Many warm wishes Jan :-)

Robert Lindley June 7, 2022 at 12:00 PM My friend, your muse gifts you so very much, imho. I truly enjoyed reading this very creative and lively creation. Due to health reasons , I've completely sworn off sweets/candy for many years now . God bless..

Arthur Vaso May 26, 2022 at 8:49 PM LOL so funny, certainly my kind of workout!!!

Gershon Wolf May 26, 2022 at 8:16 PM Ha, ha, ha, ha! Food & Exercise = Fed-Exercise, the fast way to lose and gain weight simultaneously! :)

Mike Gentile May 24, 2022 at 4:45 AM I love your take on the contest Jan! You're sure to have a "Pay-Day"!!! (that's a candy bar from my youth!)

Harry Horsman May 23, 2022 at 10:13 PM How on earth do you conjure these magical Limerick? So clever and entertaining. Love them all.

John Watt May 23, 2022 at 1:23 PM Jan, looks like your muse is back from the loo and whispering in your ear again, lol! Love your melding of gym and sweets, best wishes in the contest. Hugs ~ John Jan Allison May 23, 2022 at 2:02 PM I hope the sponsor likes it John, was great fun to write:-) hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich May 23, 2022 at 12:55 PM great merging of exercise with food terms, Jan. It's strange how some of these food items I don't even know. by the way, I tried to find Teppo's poetry but it looks like he took them down?? wish I could remember if he was someone that ever commented with me. Jan Allison May 23, 2022 at 2:09 PM Thanks Andrea it was hard not to get carried away with this one, teppo left the site and removed all his poetry, it beggars belief that the one who helped drive him away blogged to trey and get him to return and also playing victimiser turned victim:-( hugs Jan xx

Tania Kitchin May 22, 2022 at 4:18 AM Jan, this is excellent, entertaining and creative! hugs Jan Allison May 23, 2022 at 2:09 PM thanks sweet friend xx

Ilene Bauer May 21, 2022 at 4:52 PM I haven’t heard of many of these, Jan, but I love the way you’ve worked them all into your verses. So creatively done! Best of luck in the contest…. Jan Allison May 23, 2022 at 2:10 PM thanks Ilene xx

Rico Leffanta May 21, 2022 at 10:45 AM Love those Bounty bars and your poem! Aloha! Jan Allison May 21, 2022 at 1:28 PM Thanks Rico, I purchased a plain choc bounty when I was in the UK at Easter, not had one in years it was sooo delicious - we can get the, here but had it as a special treat on 'holiday':-) hugs Jan xx

Jenna Logan May 21, 2022 at 9:39 AM I gotta say you sure have some weird sounding items, some very 'fishy.' LOL Lots a luck in the contest. Jan Allison May 21, 2022 at 1:27 PM Thanks Jenna, I hope the sponsor will accept all the sweets etc I named as they are British treats:-) hugs jan xx

L Milton Hankins May 21, 2022 at 9:20 AM Clever, indeed, Jan. I had a heckuva time coming up with something for this contest, but I think I finally wrote something on topic. This is marvelous. Best of luck in Natasha's contest. Now I think I'll go have a candy bar! Jan Allison May 21, 2022 at 1:26 PM I wrote it last week during a break from exam support and finally got round to editing it today:-) hugs Jan xx

Tom Cunningham May 21, 2022 at 9:13 AM Good collection there Jan, I think you covered them all. Good luck in the contest. Tom Jan Allison May 21, 2022 at 1:25 PM Not sure if the sponsor will know all these sweets but I take my chance with the contests:-) hugs Jan xx

Gordon Mcconnell May 21, 2022 at 8:38 AM Great chocolate treats Jan, so well penned excellently with great rhyme and flow too. Now I must ear but it tea time soon!! Have a great weekend, Gordon Jan Allison May 21, 2022 at 1:24 PM Thanks Gordon xx
