Thin Vignette
Skinny Minnie? Not yet!
Want to be one? You bet!
Are you starving, full of fret?
Want to give up at onset?
Publish goals in a gazette.
Tell yourself you’ll not regret.
Never worry; never fret.
Choice of foods can be reset.
Meat? Eggs? Proteins? Mindset –
Watch proportions; Ready! Set!
Soon, pounds fly like a fanjet!
Keep on going! Don’t stop yet!
Put your thinking on reset.
Seek and join a “cool” quartet.
Go outside and play croquette.
Make new friends; do not typeset.
Never give up! Ready, set –
Win your prize; there dies regret.
You can be a health cadet.
Eat three meals before sunset.
Healthy treat between each set.
See how skinny you will get.
When you're in the “Thin Vignette”,
Use a straw not a pipette.
DEDICATED to my health guru whose name I shall publish, with permission, after I loose my first 40 pounds!
Thank you, you know who! SMILES!
