Premium Member Merlin the Magic Cat

Let me tell you a story about 
Merlin the Magical Cat
He could conjure up the best magical spells
but couldn't keep himself from being fat

He would eat up 
all the treats
and then would go hunt down more
critters and creatures to eat

But he would try his magic
to reduce his gut
but the fat would just
rearrange towards his butt

"Meow, meow, meow!" 
he would scream
Why oh why were the laws of nature
so mean!

So he decided to go on 
an exercise program
where he would jog and run each day
along side his man

It worked as he grew skinnier
and skinnier
His magic in this instance was not needed
he was the winnier!

Premium Member Monolinear

but a collection of slim syllables which became monolinear
to keep the vocabulary from becoming even skinnier

no matter what is written, experienced or elegantly lied
existence flows toward eternity for change will not be denied

trying not to get lost in depth of individual helplessness
prime numbers and beings stand entirely on their own prerequisites

denial that existence must be about each species improvement
would deeply flawed gods create humans simply for their own amusement?

where things choose to correspond to individual dependencies
hard to shed the burdens of our ancestors' habits and tendencies

written history becomes polluted, diluted, often obscured
all remembrance soon fades, despite how robust or heavily insured
human lives are molded by the severity of challenges endured

Premium Member Montezuma's Revenge

Must stay close to the WC

Senior Montezuma is laughing hysterically

Thoroughly enjoying his revenge at my expense

Didn't drink the water but it made no difference

Been back home for almost a week now

No relief in sight

Getting skinnier by the minute

Looking kind of emaciated and if you believe that

Go some gorgeous swampland in Florida for ya

I'm sure you'll be interested in

Could starve myself for a couple of weeks

And the word, “emaciated” still wouldn't apply

I imagine Senior Montezuma is getting a big kick out of this

Kind of a sick sense of humour I would say!

The Pretty Girl With Green Cat's Eyes

The pretty girl with green cat's eyes
is skinnier than Johnny the hot-dog vender,
they chat and smoke grass
on their coffee break mindless of lonely Cher!

Once she was her true friend, they drank together
at the Happy Bar until the pretty girl
with green cat's eyes stole her boyfriend Peter;
when they meet, it's nothing but Hell!

Branda comes running and breaks them up,
that's when Cher's face gets red with anger;
" Peter is mine, get your own! It's not fair
to kiss him as if he was your adorable pup! "  

The pretty girl with cats' eyes seems too crazy,
she always looks for a prey and when she finds one...
the poor guy can't escape from her captivity;
I'm ashamed to say I fell for her but drunk from wine! 

Hey, dudes don't be charmed by her deceptive smile,
she steals your wallet and all the credit cards;
watch the pretty girl with cats' eyes luring guys;
think twice: sex is not free, don't be taken for a ride!

The first time

The first time that cold sharp metal blade slid across your skin while you were lying on the bathroom floor was the first moment you realised you were as mentally deluded as you thought you were

The blood that dripped down your leg gave you a sense of comfort and warmth that was unmatched

Opening up your skin was easier then letting someone inside ur heart, creating scars that will never heal made u feel alive making your heart pumping with adrenaline

The first time you compared urself to the skinnier slimmer prettier girls made you self conscious, every time you passed a mirror you saw more flaws in yourself, more pieces of yourself u could depict and compare 

The crippling feeling that you are insufferable creeps up into ur mind taking control of it like a puppeteer and you are the puppet 

The first time you realised you were a mistake, a disappointment a failure made you seek that blade again and again and again until you layed in a pool of your blood lying on the freezing bathroom floor, the same place you sat the first night you dragged the cold sharp metal blade on your skin.

The blade whispered to you like an old friend, it was an unbreakable habit, you were so helpless laying on that bathroom floor that first time not knowing it would lead to this.

Premium Member 'own Your Tag'

When you see your reflection
Staring back at you 

Do you hate what you see?
Do you wish your body was shaped differently? 
Little skinnier here a little more curves over there 
Do you know that your body is like your fingerprints?

Uniquely yours

And that no matter how hard you try 
You will never have the identical build
Someone else possess 

Your body is your trademark
Don’t loose your label 
Just to fit in or to look like someone else
Don’t become an imitation 
Learn to love your tag
Try and work with the tag you were blessed with

Premium Member Sometimes

Sometimes
By Franklin Price
7/28/2015

Sometimes my joints are aching
On this trip of life I'm taking
But I wouldn't have it  any other way
In this joyful life I'm living
There's some taking and some giving
I'm just passing through not really here to stay

I try to bring a smile to faces
Of all people of all races
As I travel through this life from day to day
That I know them doesn't matter
If they're skinnier or fatter
To treat them ugly really doesn't pay

Can't be looking down on others
They're my sisters and my brothers
Yes everyone I have a chance to meet
As I while away the hours
To extend my hand empowers
Me to make a friend of everyone I greet

Have to go the sun is bright
I've made it through another night
Always grateful to a loving God above
I leave this advice for you
Would not hurt to try it too
Don't spread hate around just spread a little love
