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!

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..

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.

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

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

I gotta say you sure have some weird sounding items, some very 'fishy.' LOL Lots a luck in the contest.

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!
