Weight-Watching

Poor Ralph worried about his good friend's weight
  O.B. City said, "Don't care if I'm late!"
    Though Weight-Watchers next meeting
    Was first-come, first-serve seating
  O.B. City'd long been 'watching his weight'

Pull it down, Suck it in, Turn it around, Tuck it in. I have the 'spare tire' blues. Can Ralph relate? If you '"Watch your weight" will it disappear? I have been staring at mine for hours and it's still there. Funny poem, Gershon. I'm glad to have found it, made me smile.

Well, "Jelly Roll, Gum Drop:" I'd rather be 'Gum-drop Gershon' than Jelly Roll Morton!

we have to take care about weight, but not of friends i guess, "lovely" penning indeed

Heh, heh. You can pick your friends. And you can pick your nose. But you can't pick your friend's nose. ~ Sanitary Sam
