String Bikini Goal

Last winter's resolution gone by spring
So I never did the bikini thing

  The same five pounds
  Still hanging around

I sigh and stare at that suit made of string



Perhaps I should take a different approach
By hiring a personal trainer coach

  Jillian Michaels
  Exercise cycle

And perhaps just a dash of self reproach



I'll cram my flab into that swimsuit now
To wear it all winter I will avow

  Though it causes pain
  I'll struggle again

But by June I'll still look like a sea cow

Great posting Diane. Good luck in the contest. You asked how old the babies are. They were preemies born on Sept. 2. They were three months when this was taken. They are still very small. But healthy. Lvoe, Joyce
