That exercise will result in rapid weight loss is a myth. Each pound of body fat contains 3,500 calories. Yes, exercise burns off fat, but at a slow rate. The best wa to lose calories is to swim in cold water.

The swimming will keep you fit and burn a few calories, but maintaining your body temperature inj cold water will shed them like water from a shaking dog.

Wow, I didn't know that, cold water will do the trick ? The obese will surely flock Antartica. Just kidding. Thanks for the generous and encouraging stars.

Nassus1957,

I really find these monostich poems intriguing and challenging and you
did a really great job on this one. Your well chosen title along with that
photo really prepare us for the whole story.

"weight loss exercise" >Great use of the word 'exercise' there and yes,
t"aste for food"...especially those pictured, are the enemy of weight loss.

Very clever,
Linda

Comment from Joyce Long

Good

The picture seems to tell it all and your title goes right a long with the idea: Her weight loss routine. In your monostich poem you used 'your.' Why not use 'her?' As it is you went from third person: her, him, they, to second person: you, yours. First person is the person speaking, I; second person is the person being spoken to and third person is the person being spoken about.
I have learned more styles of poetry than I ever knew existed.
Thank you for sharing.
Keep up the good work.

My dear friend, the poem itself is addressed to the readers so it has to be you. It is a satire in relation to the title "Her Weight Loss Routine". not addressing her directly so I have to talk to the readers instead of her, so as not to hurt the person person concerned. This is also called euphemism in my personal view. Thanks again my friend for stopping by. God bless.

Comment from Nan Beeson

Excellent

Thank you for explaining what a monostich is. Since it is a poem of one line and the title often plays an important part in the poem since the poem itself is so short and is the reason it is often used for humorous poems.

I especially liked the
Example: My Dogma
By: Kentucky Sweet Pea

"While I was in church last night, my dogma ate my
homework."

Ha! I think that is as humorous as a one liner can be! LOL!

Your picture and one liner,
"The futility of a weight loss exercise is keeping your taste for food." is so true, sad, and funny at the same time! LOL!

Thank you for sharing all this information and one liner.
