Thin Vignette

Thin Vignette Skinny Minnie? Not yet! Want to be one? You bet! Are you starving, full of fret? Want to give up at onset? Publish goals in a gazette. Tell yourself you’ll not regret. Never worry; never fret. Choice of foods can be reset. Meat? Eggs? Proteins? Mindset – Watch proportions; Ready! Set! Soon, pounds fly like a fanjet! Keep on going! Don’t stop yet! Put your thinking on reset. Seek and join a “cool” quartet. Go outside and play croquette. Make new friends; do not typeset. Never give up! Ready, set – Win your prize; there dies regret. You can be a health cadet. Eat three meals before sunset. Healthy treat between each set. See how skinny you will get. When you're in the “Thin Vignette”, Use a straw not a pipette. DEDICATED to my health guru whose name I shall publish, with permission, after I loose my first 40 pounds! Thank you, you know who! SMILES! © Dane Smith-Johnsen May 14, 2010 Poetic Form: Monorhyme

We're anxiously awaiting the name of your guru, Dane Ann. I love the monorhyme form and the line about the health cadet made me laugh out loud -- as you already know. Very witty approach to a healthier lifestyle. Keep smiling, my friend. Love, Carolyn

May your new attitude toward life and food bring you much success in the conquest to a healtier body...I have fought the battle of the bulge all my life and it is now winning...Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara
