As I sit here stretching to touch my toes
I’m amazed to see how my body grows
As years pass by my height reduces
No longer producing needed juices!
My body has clumped and can no longer bend
I used to possess a great, firm, rear-end
I kneed and console and sweat the pounds
Be gone from me! Let slimness be found!
I’ll walk and jog - I’ll run a while
But can I make it an extra half-mile?
I need to change life-long habits
But, must I eat like the local rabbit?
Grease makes food taste good, sugar is great
Frying is tasteful as up goes my weight
My pounds go up as my fanny drags down
Will I ever trip? Can I rebound?
I watch years marching on, time does pass
As I worry about my stomach’s gas
I know I can make it – I’ll firm my bust
My desire for food I’ll dismiss as lust
I’ll continue to stretch, pull and wonder
If I’ll ever look like firm, Jane Fonda
If I get discouraged and say, “I’m too pooped,”
I’ll remember the body of Dr. Ruth
I long for courage waiting for a meal
I hear Burger Big-One has a great deal
A double-whammy on an extra large bun
I’ll diet tomorrow – Today I’ll have fun!

No other woman is better than her;
Since anyone further below by her;
Every man can make a distinction of her attraction;
And the lover puts her through great devotion;
She brings her voice sweet music to someone's ears;
She sparks her eyes that guys stand into peers;
Her brown skin presents beauty and elegance;
Her long black hair neatly and beautifully made for balance;
Natural grace shows her in the form of slimness;
And favorable attitude makes her the benefit of sweetness.

It seems as if
in another life,
I walked these pebbled
tracks, away from the dusk,
away from false confines,
traveling down the spectrum
of a dim rainbow that waits--
longingly
within the distance.
I balanced myself upon the
rails - leaning right, jerking left--
keeping a friendship with the wind.
I flew. Flew above
the fears of others, above...
but not away, and then I settled
to earth - falling off the
narrowness of the rail--
the slimness of life.
