Jack Ellison Poet Rhyme

Hope I Don'T Go Blind

Now why didn't I do this years ago
Lost a bunch and feel a hundred times better
Obsessed with eating? A resounding yes
Never followed any plan to the letter

Then one day fifteen months ago
The skies cleared and I saw a bright light
It signalled if you don't smarten up
Your soul will be taking the next flight

I'm sure not ready to cash in my chips
Literally scared the poop outta me
So I bit the bullet and stuck to a system
Can now say it's easier to breathe

Bottom line is, the more you put in
Stands to reason the body stores the excess
It was blimp time at this old guy's house
Now I'd even look good in a dress

Now don't go reading stuff into that line
Just a phrase so try to settle down
With these bulging muscles and great physique
Sure wouldn't look good in a gown

“Now this silliness has really got to stop
Can't you be serious sometimes?”
That's asking a lot from this jester dude
I'll  try hard. I hope I don't go blind

L Milton Hankins April 15, 2022 at 7:26 AM Oh Jack, never stop your silliness. You are a delight! Glad you lost some pounds, too. I need to desperately, but I do love to eat! It's about all I have left to do, right? Jack Ellison April 15, 2022 at 7:38 AM "It's about all I have left to do!" I know the feeling... that's partly why one of my reasons for it!!! Cheers!
