Terry Flood Poet Limerick

Slimerick

I heard of this snazzy new diet
It looked so good I thought I’d try it
You eat what you like
No exercise bike
Whatever you eat you can fry it

My pizza edge has cheese right through it
I eat cakes and puddings and suet
This diet is great
I haven’t lost weight
But I know that I can stick to it

Lindsay Laurie November 7, 2021 at 4:17 PM Ah yes Terry ... nothing more important than sticking to a diet. I admit I do like the idea of yours. It keeps the rabbits away - thanks Terry - Lindsay Terry Flood November 8, 2021 at 11:32 AM Ah you’ve spotted the flaw in my diet… no Rabbit….EVER! Thanks Lindsay. Terry

Gershon Wolf November 6, 2021 at 8:07 PM You get an A+ for persistence, Terry. I am green with envy. lol. Thanks for the chuckle - nay - the roar! ~ Smiling away, gw Terry Flood November 8, 2021 at 11:31 AM I guess it works on the notion that when you can’t have something, you want it all the more. It’s just reverse psychology, don’t you know? Terry

Beryl Edmonds November 6, 2021 at 5:45 PM That a diet I could stick to also, sounds simply delicious Terry…. Belle Terry Flood November 8, 2021 at 11:28 AM I’ll use it as the formula for a new dieting book… should sell a dozen or so, Belle. Terry

Ilene Bauer November 6, 2021 at 1:14 PM this is hilarious, terry! fantastic ending... Terry Flood November 6, 2021 at 3:40 PM Thanks, Ilene. After confusing everybody with ‘No God Of Mine’ I fancied a far more straightforward write. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Tom Cunningham November 6, 2021 at 3:09 AM I'm trying to lose weight after the nurse said would you be interested in an online weight management course, that was enough lol. Tom Rico Leffanta November 6, 2021 at 11:07 AM booze and cigarettes kept me at 10-stone for decades! Terry Flood November 6, 2021 at 8:04 AM Seven pounds in a month… that's half a stone: not bad going that. I think lost weight is easier to keep off the slower you lose it. Well done on what you’ve achieved so far. Terry Tom Cunningham November 6, 2021 at 3:10 AM Update, lost about 7 pounds in a month, making room for Christmas.

L Milton Hankins November 5, 2021 at 7:17 PM Applause! That's the kind of diet that would send me to my grave. Thank goodness, my nieces gave me an air fryer. I swear by it. L Milton Hankins November 6, 2021 at 9:54 AM LOL. I never thought of it, Terry, but you are so correct. Don't know what else to call it, though. Terry Flood November 6, 2021 at 8:06 AM An air fryer sounds like Robin Hood’s mate in a helicopter. Thanks for the applause. Terry
