Jan Allison Poet Acrostic

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!

Carolyn Devonshire February 7, 2020 at 11:10 AM 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 Jan Allison February 7, 2020 at 11:51 AM Thanks Carolyn:-) hugs jan xx

Quoth Theraven February 6, 2020 at 10:58 PM Jan, What a nice resolution.
