Little Stomach of Horrors

Just wanting to lose some winter time size 12 blues and come down one size, maybe two is hard to do when one gets older my "Audrey" stomach growing defensively bolder, Saying "feed me, feed me" as I pass by the grocery store stopping to shop "Audrey" starts to annoy me even more growling like a fierce lioness defending ones cubs I hold my stomach as if to smother and give it a nudge, The women shoppers around me can relate and nod knowing that its swimwear season like were peas in a pod whereas going down the cookie aisle is like being in a gauntlet the oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies reach out as if to taunt us, With "Audrey" becoming embarrassingly loud and brazen I spy a little sample booth which is a heavenly haven as I gulp the sample down as least for now "Audrey" is slightly satisfied until homeward bound pass by all the fast food places on my drive... 7-2-17

Take "Audrey" clothes shopping and say any more of this I'm gonna show you the door - quit your hungry urges "Audrey" - I've just learnt the score - You just like hanging around my waist line - like it's your own - I'll get my one size smaller - with or without your groans - HA HA HA - Brill write - Love a bit a humour me - Indiana x x x

Such a cool and witty poem, Cheryl. And the title is so perfect! I'm smiling looking at my own Audrey. Great laughs and smiles and smiles of honesty. Lovely poetry, dear. Love and joy always and forever.
