Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Three Wishes

My first wish is to remain fit and healthy
I’ve no desire to be famous or wealthy
With good health then you are truly rich
I hope my wish does not sound too kitsch!

How I wish that my tummy was flat
It’s humongous with rolls of pink fat
It reminds me of a huge wobbly jelly
I’d dearly love to get rid of my belly!

My greatest wish is to be a grandma
It’s a shame that my son lives so far
A grandchild would be a dream come true
I could have fun as many grandma's do!

Carolyn Devonshire October 24, 2018 at 11:36 AM Jan, may I join you in the first two wishes? You have expressed the wishes many of us have and you wrote it with flair. I have been dieting to see if weight loss will help my back problems. Also, just found an old photo in which my stomach is flat as can be. Weighed less than 100 pounds for a long time. Now I'd be happy with 110. Yikes! Sending winning wishes to you for the contest, dear. (My AOL email is inaccessible. AOL is having problems. Don't know when they'll fix it. Hugs, CD Jan Allison October 24, 2018 at 12:10 PM I mailed you yesterday, will 're send it in a soup mail when I get home. My tum isn't that bad I was just ha ing fun but I do want my health to remain good and would love a grandchild one day:-) Hugs Jan xx
