Plastic Surgery

When my body begins to burgeon, 
I go to see my plastic surgeon. 
His magic tucks and nips 
will make me smaller hips;
but he just smiles and says, “Stop splurgin'.”

I just was rereading older poems trying to find one I'd not seen already(I failed) and saw in one note you had written under MY comment to go see your plastic surgery poem, but I came here and I see I already had seen that one before too! It IS a good limerick.,I'm about ready to call it a night. Saw a movie on gays called Weekend, in Salt lake today. It was touted as a film about two strangers who reveal alot to each other right away. They don't know MY life and how I do that all the time.haha

GOOD ONE here too, JOhn. Did I thank you for all your comments the other day? If not, THANKS!! I am afraid to comment very much to you bec ause soon I will have nothing more to comment to. Did you know that recently they made a change here? all our old poems (I had 600) were reduced to just our last 200. I am very bothered by this. I had many poet friends whose old poetry I used to go see when I ran out of new stuff of their to look at. Now I feel lost. If I run out of poems to see, I have nothing new to comment on. Good grief. What trick will they pull next??
