OH no, this poem says it all. My problem is very little exercise. Well said, good rhyme and such a timeless subject. Truly a joy to read and be reminded of
that which I must work on. Eighteen pounds, I'm jealous. Smiles. Robin :)

Wow! 18 lbs is a feat for the weight watchers program. Congrats. French fries besides fattening also have a lot of harmful cholesterol. Good diet, good health. Obesity can create cardiac problems in future.
Expressed well and penned great too.
Cheerio, for this breezy and light entertaining read.
Cheerio, Ritchie.

    Thanks Ritchie. I still have them once in a while, French Fries, I mean.

    The best way to good health is some light exercise everyday. If we starve from french fries, life can be dull as certain foods give us the creative spark.

Hi, Tresichel,
Excellent free verse. It is cute. Not as sophisticated as your usual work. Repetition and alliterations effective. 18 pounds lost? I am envious. Trying to lose weight as Tyler Black said "I feel you man".

Good free verse! Why is it that the food that is the most satisfying is also what is so bad for us. Congratulations on making positive progress with losing weight!

I like your subject matter. It is quite timely.
I think that opening with a cliche ... see food diet is not strong.
Writing about your diet is good therapy and a good help aid!
Good luck!

Very clever poem. Love the opening, set a tone for the rest. Rhyme scheme allowed for an easy flow. And most importantly, good job on the accomplishment.

Well done just think thin, not nice being on a constant diet, hate to say I am one of those who can eat anything and stay the same... good luck and keep up the good work...
