Best Eat Less Poems
The Optimistic Pessimists ResolutionsGet 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.
Get more...

A Resolution For LifeI 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...

DoomThey 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...

Menudo Breakfast of ChampionsThis 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...

Death Is BeautifulOur 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 LieMy butt is just so damn big

16 Miners could plan a dig
9 drummers could perform a gig

22 college kids could do their trig

HelloIt 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
I...

The Difference Between Judgment and AidThe 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 MondayTime 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 MeIf 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 WiseUncomfortable 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 RunSilent 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...
