Short Slimmer Poems

Yes, nostalgia does exist,
I reminisce on slimmer hips,
As I look at us today,
All I really want to say,
Is, we got fat for football, eh!...

Breakfast, lunch, or dinner
Any time of day, pizza does deliver
A satisfying punch
Double down for lunch
Sure wish this treat made me slimmer...

The healthiest President ever, really
How about Obama, now you're being silly
Barack was trim
I'd even say slim
Slimmer than me, coz I'm a fat sissy...

Making one hundred calls to get trimmer,
taking each diet pill to stay slimmer.
they tighten my flesh,
so each fold will mesh.
Here I come! Hit the light switch to dimmer!...

Salad, salad, salad, every day of the year
To keep me thin and trim, it's not working I fear
You'd think by now
I'd be slimmer than a cow
This obsession for Big Macs is really severe...

Arguing with the Muse,
spirit abused

Arguing with the Muse,
always refused

Arguing with the Muse,
soul to confuse

Arguing with the Muse
—destined to lose

A burger with fries are fit for a king
But it's not gonna lose weight you big ding a-ling
For a slimmer bod
Give a negative nod
To junk food and wind up a 98 pound weakling

Let the thoughts simmer,
  let the words breathe

Excesses slimmer,
 passions reprieve

Leave the ink arid,
  keep the page clear

Treasure the silence,
—that only you hear

Once entered a talent show just for beginners
It was obvious from the start that I was a winner
Sang Mary had a little lamb
Showed how talented this guy am
Wearing a cute little skirt which made me look slimmer

The Grill is set
The words are ready for effect
Preparation
Thanking
Patience
Ingredient words
Sentences dressing
Pinch alpha here and there
Watchful with care
Inspired heart
Write
Let the emotions flow
Slimmer
Appreciate
Complete
Done 
Serve...

It is better,
In a letter,
To your mind unfetter:
Your claims of being a pace-setter,
And a neglected go-getter.

Better in a letter,
Your tears make wetter,
A former switch with a latter,
The slimmer present as the fatter;

Better in a letter,
To disclose that one is a waiter,
And to another his hater:
Better in a letter....

Vividly its coming
Imagine it figured
Conquering its occurring
Maturing as it grows

A pencil is meant to write
An ink is meant to be refilled
A paper is meant to be written on
And words are meant to be read

Slimmer as it boils
Aborting as it leaves the fakeness
Completing as it receives the originality
The race has been ran...

I don't like him,
But I love him.
His pockets are trim,
Slimmer than a Slim Jim.
I'm in love with someone broke.
This is not cupid's arrow poke.
It's the poke of the devil's fork.
He's running to me like love,
Is a sacred sport.
I don't like him,
But I love him.
His pockets are trim,
Slimmer than a Slim Jim.

The pace
  I walked for 50 minutes
 Inhaling fumes of cars, it is like
 Living in a roundabout
The see air on the seventh floor
At my flat, the air is healthier
But I walk every day because
It is suitable for my diabetes
And it makes me slimmer
Only the walk makes me hungry.
It makes me wonder if
The great and late president Chirac
Walked the street of Paris?...

EMBRACE THE PEACEFUL LIGHT--


In the ever florescence darkness
I kiss the light with my tongue
As I savor the endurance's
I do refresh my mind
For the perseverance
Crosses my heart
As the raging tears of laughter
Burns my throat
I endorse...
ties slimmer of the light
I embrace the peaceful sight
As I call and live upon the light

Don’t wait to lose that weigh you hate.
Don’t leave it for another week sign up quick its not too late.
And you  will  become a right, light weight.
Be an angel and don’t you syn
And in your group slimmer of the week you will win. 
And we are all you’re journeys soul mates.

But here at slimming world we are into losing weight.
And your success we celebrate....

Childhood Days

I’d heap spoonfuls of sugar in my tea
I wouldn’t drink it without it you see
That sweet syrupy drink
Wasn’t poured down the sink
Every single drop was supped up by me!


Adulthood

Dad’s diabetes made me think -
Did I need to sweeten my drink
So I cut sugar out
And I don’t have a doubt
I’m slimmer and I’m in the pink

Dizains and triolets are somewhat similar,
Although triolets are a tiny bit slimmer
And I must admit, the triolet is repetitive
While the dizain rhymes are competitive.
I am inclined to write these poetry forms
Because they follow rather strict norms,
And force upon me discipline in writing,
When the thoughts I have are uninviting.
And when I cannot apply either, or worse,
I tend to slip over and employ free verse.

I need to ride 
In those Ferraris
(Like they do)
And feel proud
Of my efforts
(Yeah, to...)
But I see
The possibility 
Is getting slimmer by the day

Politics is aLl thAt dooms my future
They are fighting as to determine who rules
But I see they all have nothing
That is in their heads 
Say, they are fools

They say they do big deals
They call themselves big bosses But they are big losses 
Because they bar our ways to success!
(Mad at them)...

Ageing.
Hearing going fast,
Teeth already gone.
Eyes are squinting,
Hair needs tinting.
Thoughts are straying,
What are they saying?
Back has a twinge,
Need a hip hinge.
Knees seem to click,
Time to get a stick.
Got to get a bit slimmer,
Before I need a zimmer.
Fingers keep locking,
Need an elastic stocking.
Toes get the cramp,
Undies get damp.
Forgot what comes next,
Must be why I get vexed.
Starting to nod my head,
Hot cocoa and bed.
G'nite.
