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. May 9, 2011 for Eve Roper's New or Old 3 Poetry Contest (Quatrain form must rhyme lines 2 and 4 and have similar syllable count)

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....

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

Andrea ..it is so beautiful here.. every day I am in awe as to why we are returning to N.J.??? for this place is paradise.. my husband makes a convincing argument to move here.. and each day I am succumbing to his point of view as it is almost as lovely as Shangri La ..enjoy a happy weekend my friend..

I could snack all day on chocolate as you well know. Just got home from an Elton John concert and it was great. Needed some music in my life. will try and get an email off to you seems time is lacking for me at the moment. love phyl
