Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Just Think of It

  I can talk to my brother 10,000 miles away
    Make conference calls from Beijing to Monterrey

  Warm up my car from the comfort of home
    Attend a ballgame in the rain under a dome

  Manage a company while on perpetual vacation
    Buy a new car with no sales negotiation

  Design a skyscraper with a few clicks here and there
    If a doctor, perform surgery remotely from anywhere  

  So, why can’t I just eat right and lose weight
    I guess it’s ‘cos home-cooked food tastes so great

Bill Baker January 23, 2024 at 6:38 PM Love that final couplet, my friend. It's a hard battle to win. I thought I had it beat ... Lost 90 lbs and kept it off for 15 years, then covid appeared and somehow, I find myself with an extra 40 lbs now. Here I go again, this time it will be much harder to win at 79. I enjoyed your poetry today. Write On! Bill Gershon Wolf January 23, 2024 at 8:27 PM 90 lbs! 15 years! I am in awe. How'd you do it, man?... Of course, you are right. At 79 it'll be tough, real tough. Aren't I encouraging? lol. At 73, I've about given up trying to take it off again. Covid time was + 35 lbs for me. And I just can't seem to lose even one of them. Oh, well. Good luck!!

David Fisher January 23, 2024 at 4:56 PM Couplet well done! And speaking of cutlet, I'm starving. Gershon Wolf January 23, 2024 at 8:31 PM Sounds like you are starving. Careful not to 'wolf down' your food, David. ~ Big Bad Wolf

Smita Kulkarni January 23, 2024 at 1:48 PM Very creative lines Gershon! There are so many things that we can easily do and so many, we have hard time understanding and follow through. Gershon Wolf January 23, 2024 at 8:46 PM Right you are, Smita. Thanks for the comment, Gershon
