Andrea Dietrich Poet Quatrain

Sarong Song

For breakfast I sat down with sweetened cocoa,
then snacked on Hershey kisses all day long.
A chocolate cream éclair I had with dinner.
I’m changing my bikini for sarong.

Tim Ryerson August 1, 2016 at 7:23 PM Okay! If you insist, I'll settle for the sarong instead (sigh) but I second Harry's suggestion below so PLEASE, don't throw away that bikini!! You is some kinda funny lady my friend...BIG congrats - Tim

Harry Horsman December 6, 2012 at 3:56 AM this is both lovely and funny, it really is a little gem, question could you not wear the bikini underneath the sarong? i'm sure you would look stunning....

Gwendolen Song May 16, 2011 at 11:10 AM Forget the sarong-I am going with a Moo moo. So, u are a choco-holic just like me? I need handcuffs whenever I am around the stuff. ONe night at work I had to lock up the Christmas chocolate in the narcotic dispenser at work bc the nurses were all on diets. They were livid at me! great one-Gwendolen
