Constance La France Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Insanity

This diet calls for seven containers,
large, medium, small, all in bright colors;

And all this for a $60 fee,
Have some already for free,

Again, a diet to make me lighter.

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser April 15, 2015 at 8:14 PM hahaha !!! I can relate to this as I had done it before but I found in limiting yourself with such will only cause you to eat more like me.. :D~olive eloisa

Andrea Dietrich April 15, 2015 at 6:21 PM oh yes, Constance, if there was ever anything insane, it would have to be doing crazy diets over and over again. VERY good idea.

Sara Kendrick April 15, 2015 at 1:23 PM Interesting work..I would guess the largest one is for dessert..LOL Thanks for stopping by..This one reads like a winner//Sara

Nette Onclaud April 15, 2015 at 12:33 PM ohh my.. this is a rib-tickler, constance.. how many more containers?... well done.. huggs

Carolyn Devonshire April 15, 2015 at 11:54 AM Your poem is so witty! If we had only empty containers, just think how much "lighter" all of us would be! Unfortunately for me, a psychologist told me I was doing just what Einstein's definition of insanity is. Oh well, let's just smile! Best wishes in John's contest. I'm glad to hear he's back on the Soup. Love, Carolyn

Emile Pinet April 15, 2015 at 8:46 AM Your talent and wit wrap themselves around your words and we are left questioning our perceptions of insanity when it comes to diets. Emile.
