Notes About The Poem

Weigh To Go

We dined at a Hungry Horse pub
and sampled some delicious grub
We tried curries and pies
Lovely gammon and fries
But now I can’t fit in the tub!

Love the poem and the title was fantastic. Love the play on words. I say, let's eat and just buy a bigger tub. :)

Hubby came up with the title for me :-) They had a £5 menu with HUGE meals hubbies had 3 pieces of gammon and mine 4 chicken breasts - I could only manage to eat 1 1/2 and yesterday we had curries which were superb. I can't wait to go back and try more next time we get to the Uk - am home now so can cut back on my eating lol:-) hugs Jan xx
