Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

My Theme Thong

I'm on my bike every day
Trying to lose some pounds
I giggle like a little girl when
The scale says I'm heading down

The lard is just melting away
I'm a shadow of my former self
Almost lost a whole human being
Since deciding to become an elf

I hear you chuckling over there
Shouldn't you be cheering me on
Instead of being so damn jealous
That I'm wearing this skimpy thong

Feel like running about in the nude
But authorities just might object
Thought of covering up but decided
Gonna flaunt it, what the heck

Okay maybe I'm dreaming a tad
But I'm really going to see it through
Nothing but good can come of it
Soon be doing the old boogaloo!
