Carolyn Devonshire Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Three

Jeans'

Sizes

Three Jeans' Sizes

My jeans are all stacked in three groups
From slim to the wide hoola-hoops 
     While diets are tedium 
     I’m back to a medium 
My fasting would shock our brave troops 

With nineteen pounds lost in three weeks 
I smile when I see smaller cheeks 
     I credit V-8 juice 
     For making my jeans loose 
My butt receives better critiques

Jack Horne February 23, 2021 at 11:48 AM LOL, had a good laugh at this very witty write - a sure winner Carolyn Devonshire February 23, 2021 at 12:48 PM V-8 Juice actually speeds up our metabolism and burns fat. A great dietary aid!

Jennifer Proxenos February 23, 2021 at 9:47 AM Oh how cute, good for you my friend, I have just been on this trip myself! I just starve myself, its the only way I lose weight, cream cakes, waffles, apple pies out the door! Got to me desired size, but is was torture. I love this poem and have to fave it. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Carolyn Devonshire February 23, 2021 at 12:50 PM I hate starving. When I visit my sister and use her pool, I burn lots of calories and can eat more. I actually lost 33 pounds, but it took three years. LOL

Paul Callus February 21, 2021 at 3:13 AM A delightful double Limerick dose, Carolyn. At least you are capable of sticking to a diet...many start but give up too quickly. ~ Hope you are keeping well; I've been too busy, and even my writing has had to take second place. ~ Warm regards & hugs // paul

Sara Kendrick February 12, 2021 at 10:30 AM They say get rid of only the size you want to wear so that you have to stay one size. LOL..Most of those tricks don't work for me.
