Paisley's Not In

Paisley's not in
    Thin ties are disasters
  Corduroy's out
    No stomachs are stout

  Fashion's dictates rule young brains
    whose bodies agonize in pain
  Trying to flatten curves into right angles
    ~ weight forbidden to gain

Been trying for 12 months now to shed weight. Have only shed my sanity. Oh, well...

Judy Ball Date: 10/31/2022 8:27:00 PM Have to agree with Kim on this. As you get older and wiser you also get wider. Comfort becomes the order of the day. Nice job here Gershon. God Bless, JB Soup Mail Login to Reply
