Okay losers,
I have a challenge for each of you. Here's my poem. You have to write a poem about your weight loss. It must include something that you are trying to lose, struggling with, cravings, anything that we might all get abit of amusement from and do try to keep it somewhat clean.
When all the poems are published, at least on this blog, we will have a vote to see which one is the winner. Of course, the winner will get a prize. You have 2 days to get your poems in, and we need at least 4 or 5 poems to have a decent vote. Oh, I have voting rules also, which you will hear later.
So, I will get you started with my poem,
Ode To My Chin
I know I have a dimple in the middle of my chin.
It was there once,and will be again.
It was a feature that piqued some interest
From the natives in a faraway land.
I kid you not, they thought I was akin
To the actor Kirk Douglas, you see
Because of his prominent dimple in his chin
They said, "You must be his relative."
Over the years I have laughed at this story
And told it many times over
However, it now seems so sorry to hear
As my dimple is quite covered over.
There's barely a dimple there anymore
It's covered by too many chins.
This I can tell you, and it may take awhile
But I intend to regain my one chin smile.
Was too much eating that caused my chin sorrow.
I am taking action today, not waiting till morrow.
Like many others, overeating is one of my sins.
But I will conquer this battle and bid farewell to my chins.
Alrightly now losers, lets hear from the other poets in this here family of ours. I know for a fact we have at least one other one, and I am sure that there are others. So, come on losers. Lets get it done.
2 days to get your poems in. Oh, and we will take last minute stragglers in this game. Come one come all, however, pay up from the first of the year. See your local banker Jer for those details.
In the meantime, get to writing.
Lets go losers.

My Tire
ReplyDeleteSomething happened to me after a c-section
It is a great dismay
I have unfortunately noticed
It seems here to stay
I have a flabby spare tire, you see
Hanging down below
My waist lies underneath it all somewhere
It jiggles to and fro
It is hard to button my pants
Do I let the tire hang over like a tree swing in the wind?
Or do I shove it in my pants looking like a mole sticking out of the earth yet under the ground?
It is time to bust that tire up
I am tired of lugging it around
What can I do to make it go away you say?
I am afraid nothing will do exept the old fashioned way...
Having a better diet and much more exercise is the key for me I pray
One day...not too far away my tire will go away!
No poem here....I'm waiting for Jill's submission. But I do have the banker's statement: $306.00. Wa-hoo!!
ReplyDeleteYou all inspire me. I haven't been on the blog and haven't been working on losing. So here I am ready to play.
ReplyDeleteOkay Now losers,

come on losers,
susan
My Dear Kristy,
ReplyDeleteYou are soo very awesome. I am so proud of you. Lets see if anyone else in the family can come up with some doozie poems.
later,
susan
This is my kind of contest! Here's my submission:
ReplyDeleteThe time has come around, I see
For diet number fifty-three
I’ve tried them all, you can be sure
For me a diet is no cure.
I’ve tried no fat, no sugar, and no fun
I’ve tried them all, yes every one
Grapefruit for breakfast, lunch and dinner
That one was no way a winner.
I gave NutriSystem a disastrous try
And Weight Watchers by and by
Atkins, South Beach and Dr. Phil’s
At least I haven’t tried diet pills.
So this time ‘round I’m trying something new
Dieting I will never do
This time it may be infinitesimal
I hope it doesn’t damage my gastrointestinal.
I’m eating small meals throughout the day
The Joe Froggers I have put away
Instead of popcorn, I’m eating Rice Chex
Although I can’t say it’s better than sex.
I’m hoping this time the weight will stay clear
I don’t want it back on my belly or rear
I’ll make tiny changes a bit at a time
If I lose thirty pounds, life will just be sublime.
yeah Jilly,
ReplyDeleteNow we are getting somewhere. What a poet!!!!
Jill,
ReplyDeleteI loved your poem and Susan's too! Welcome Janet, go Janet go!!! This blog is very inspiring to me and allows me to connect with the family and I LOVE IT. Lori, are you out there? Where is your poem????? Let's beat the punks!
Kristy, yours and Susan's poems were great, too. Jer, what the hey? You were waiting on MY poem? Write your own poem!
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin' the family connections, here, too. It is really nice to stay in touch. Hats off to Susan for starting this.
I don't notice much traffic on my blog, though. I really would like to interest all of you in the daily trivia contest. It's soooooo much fun! It only takes a few seconds and it highlights just how much we really do not know (and really don't care whether we know it or not). So, visit my blog and click on the link to the trivia contest! Go to www.jillybay.blogspot.com. See you there!
What is Gradma Jill's blog address again?

ReplyDeleteSo you want a better BMI?
ReplyDeleteYou better not eat that French fry
Are you tempted to “have it your way”?
Try something different, like Subway
Is it self-control that you lack?
It’s ok to eat a healthy snack
So you want a better lookin’ body?
Then put down that walnut fudge brownie
Are you tired of that round ole gut?
Then decrease the milk chocolate
Has the doc and the scales labeled you as obese?
Take small steps, like laying off the grease
Feel inspired to lose both love handles?
Go for a jog and smile as the weight dwindles
Has life got you in too big of hurry?
Don’t fret; you don’t have to count every calorie
Do you have a phobia of the scales?
Well to lose a little more…trim your toenails
Are you not quite the best healthy food chooser?
Try some tips from the Biggest Loser
Todd,
ReplyDeleteI see you get your gift of poeticness from your mother. Great job, I love it (and YOU;)
Wow, great poem, Todd! Voting for the best is gonna be hard!
