Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Success At Last

Julie tried every diet known to man
  Weight-Watchers, Atkins, Keto, SOTA             (State of the Art)
    Low-carb, hi-protein, even vegan

  Nothing worked; Julie gained weight
  So she began to exercise madly
    Which just made her menstruate late 

  Fed-up with it all, Julie took one last chance
  She decided a starvation diet was needed
    ~ And she succeeded

Valsa George February 16, 2023 at 8:23 PM It is not something to be laughed at. Some are so desperate in their attempt at reducing excess weight to no avail. Finally they become victims of anorexia and resort to the desperate choice of going on no food . Gershon Wolf February 16, 2023 at 8:31 PM Dear me. Then why am I still howling at the thought (of the last line)? ~ Love somebody who laughs at his own stupid jokes, don't you?! lol... Thanks, Valsa
