Best Eat Less Poems


The Optimistic Pessimists Resolutions
Get in shape, lose some weight.
Every year it’s always the same.
Read a book, stay home and cook,
And I only have myself to blame.

Till some land, lend a hand.
You’d think that I’d be smart enough,
Cards to send to a sick friend,
To ignore this self-improvement stuff.

Premium Member A Resolution For Life
I lost at least twelve pounds in this past season.
Since turning sixty, I have made a goal
to get back to my old self. The reason
is that I hated that unholy roll
around my middle!  Now it’s mostly gone.
However, I still want my old size ten.
So...

Doom
They don’t believe the Earth is dying
Slowly, painfully, day by day
They think that money can fix the problems
For the few they admit, they sit and pray

They think money can fix the problems
Surgeries to make you thin
Pills to make you eat less
Cars to fit into the...

Premium Member Menudo Breakfast of Champions
This is my story about Menudo, and not the boy band Menudo
Mexican Menudo soup, known as the breakfast of champions
It’s what borracho’s, and Ricky Martin and all el mundo saludo
Chili mix, cilantro and lemon or lime, oregano, served in ramekins
A hearty feel good spicy tripe...

Premium Member Death Is Beautiful
Our bodies are designed for birth and death,
the brain is subconsciously in control.
At birth, we instinctively take a breath
without being urged; we're born to our role.

Our bodies release endorphins at birth
to ease our passage, dulling birthing pain.
We arrive pre-programmed for life on Earth,
and it's all...

I'Ve Got a Big Butt and I Cannot Lie
My butt is just so damn big
10 Irish men could do a jig
5 truckers could park their rig
16 Miners could plan a dig
9 drummers could perform a gig

22 college kids could do their trig
If only I’d eat less like a...

Premium Member Hello
It has been a long time 
Since I put paper to pen
Maybe I should revise it'
And then start again.

What happened to the pencil
How did the pen win
Was it actually paper
Or papyrus back then

My new glasses
Aren't helping too well
Or is it the brain
That helps me spell

Premium Member The Difference Between Judgment and Aid
The council meets, all hours, to hear old batty dames yell, what a *****,
we don't think she's a good person, because she doesn't look and act like us.

The soldier's hall considers, is it fair to wage war on a witch? 
She isn't supposed to take...

Diet Starts Monday
Time to change myself once more
It's my mantra every Sunday
Be good with food and have less wine
This always starts on Monday

Commence with gentle exercise
And eat a smaller ration
By Tuesday this is going well
I'm full of strength and passion

It's Wednesday I am feeling weak
I want to...

If I Did All That My Momma Taught Me
If I did all that my momma taught me

I would live in a clean home
And always wear perfume

I would say thank yous
And how do you do?s

I would find brand name bargains
And have no hand me downs

I would always wash dishes
Keep everything in shipshape

I would manicure...

Lies Are Wise
Uncomfortable confronting 
your continuous consumption to which you're accustomed, 
the crunch, the chew, it's all you do, 
most munch at lunch while you the whole day through, 
can't get a grip like a hug holding you 
but when you sip it's a diet brew 
no...

Silent River Run
Silent River Run

Research fun gear, on-line or stocked.
Preparation: mixing, matching, dots.

Please, try not to harm the catches we snare;
Eat less of animal flesh;
And, plant lives matter, too....

Date and location decided -- she may or may not attend.
Checking bait and treble hooks, egg sinkers and split...
