A Collaboration with my sweet and witty friend Leslie Albright, who did the last two stanzas. The first two are mine. I think she maybe entered only one other contest here at all, so that is why I chose her for this collaboration of Silent One's, and also, I think she is a GREAT writer who needs to write more and more!

The Endless Fight
My sis and I, we made a vow,
to lose all of our weight somehow.
Long months we tried; sometimes we’d cheat.
Jogging! Oh the agony of da feet!
A one-week cruise; sister noshed and noshed -
Put back half the weight she’d lost!
A month she took to put things right.
Battle of the Bulge is the endless fight!
But, I digress, we're only human.
You can only eat so much with cumin.
And the next day she made her goal.
God bless her heart, God bless her soul.
So now when we get on the scale.
Sometimes we lose, sometimes we fail.
Butt, ;) we both get tired of the botching.
Of all this weighting and this watching.
