Resolutions

Reality check... I’ve noticed the
Elastic waistband has
Started to get even tighter on my  wife's pants ....
Only I daren't suggest she gives up candy -
Lets just say if she doesn't get her daily ‘ fix’ she turns
Uglier than the incredible hulk!
Take it from me when she gets PMT
It’s like walking on eggshells, so yet again my
Only option is to say 
Nothing...
So my resolution is to survive her mood swings for another year!

This is such a witty take Jan! Every time I fill my muffin top I glance at my husband but he doesn't say anything now :D Guess I need to show this one to him. Congratulations on your win :)

There's a book called "Feeding the Hungry Heart." It explains how people overeat to compensate for a lack of affection. Maybe if this fella gave his wife a little more loving, she'd lose weight. You chose a very creative and interesting theme for your poem, Jan, and did a great job. Surely a winner! Hugs, Carolyn
