Best Waistlines Poems

The Inflated Nation!

Americans growing wider by the minute!
Is there  a Russian collusion behind this illusion?
(Now, there's a breaking news headline
with real meat in it)

(Mashed potatoes, ah,don't forget, 
drowning in a greasy, gravy pit?)
Served at your table, by your waiter, 
most able, Michael Avennati.
Yes, that one. Indicted for fraud,...

Long tennis matches stretch on and on for love of deuce,
While endless freight trains mercifully end with a little red caboose.

Domestic snits could be shortened dramatically with a fruit juice truce,
Though kids keep on playing 'Super Elite 4' when they might be watching

Sexy Love

Some say that love is when our rivers join on cotton sheets in mounting passion
                       when you and I share days and...

Once again the annual holidays came, a time of great cheer
We, the batch mates of 1976 planned a mega get together
We wanted to make it an occasion to be memorized for ever
Tracking old friends was indeed a laborious endeavor

A lot of discussion and phone calls...

Mints,chews,pontefract cakes
Toffee whirls & chocolate flakes

french bonbons & jelly beans
Liquorice lace & peppermint creams

Confectionary to bring sweet dreams
And waistlines bursting at the seams....

Thanksgiving Day

      ~ pretty weird that it is necessary to have one day allocated during the year to give 
thanks to the harvest or anything else we might and should be grateful for during

IMPERMANENCE


Nothing seems to last more than a blink
From seconds to  millennia - just think: 

Sunsets   most fleeting
Chocolate you are eating
Ice-cubes in coke  (or lemon-and-lime )
Mascara in the rain runs faster than time
Cherry blossom, soft, pink, falling
Indian summers whose end is galling
Teenage...

I think Jack wants me fat.
In fact I am sure of that.
I always ask for one scoop.
Waistlines expand with that gloop.
He insists on giving three.
All for the same fee.
Poor, poor pitiful me.
I can't resist you see.
Peanut Butter Cup counter.
The place where I always flounder....

The bullying and bruising
Went on and on for years,
'Til the time had come 
They'd atone for her tears

Aimed at those people
The cruel and the two-faced,
For revenge is sweet ...
And she wanted a taste

If only they'd befriended her
And if only they knew,
The humble, homely girl
Practiced a...

We have a hundred brands of bubblegum
In the shops that line our streets.
We have thirty-five flavors of potato chips
For those with waistlines to increase.
We have cars and trucks of every size
To set our hearts aglow.
We have numerous streaming options
To watch our favorite shows.

We produce videos...

A rare confluence of events
Is happening tonight
To fill both Jews and Christians
With a feeling of delight.

At sunset Chanukah begins;
Two candles thus will glow,
While Christmas brings excitement,
Knowing Santa Claus will show.

All celebrants will gather
With their kith and kin to feast.
There'll be gossip, gifts and goodies,
Greedy waistlines...

Through faithful practise I surmise - 
Holidays - chaos in disguise!
Diets get out of hand,
Fickle waistlines expand,
And stern resolutions arise!

But until then it’s pure delight, 
Family feast by turkey site. 
Both get stuffed to the brim
On a prim palate’s whim, 
Way to whet a wild...

Last trees of leaves flutter bright yellow
Aviary of canaries freed from their cage
By this morning’s first clash of autumn snow

Birds pour out crumble below
Flatten their wings over the tiny beads
Of their open eyes

Pretend
My little friends
That a sing song can still fly

I claw through my closets...

At the final quilting class
We always bring in food.
This is what today’s assorted
Choices did include:

Purple grapes (2 different types)
And fat green grapes as well,
Lots of cheese and berries,
Chocolate filled with caramel;

Powdered donuts, cookies, too
(The oatmeal raisin kind),
Chocolate covered pretzels
And some chips no one declined.

We all...
