Great ending for this. I love limericks and your format for this is excellent. Great rhyme. Sometimes we gain weight despite our best efforts. It sounds like you kept trying. Good to see something from you again. judi

That's a clever and enjoyable limerick and rattles along nicely. I do hope your friends didn't really say that about you. Some of us put on weight way too easily.

    Yeah well I did have the advantage I could get it off as easy as get it on. These days on Coeliac it is a battle with the Type2 as well. Thanks for the lovely review.

This is a really amusing ode. Very pleasant to read. The only thing I would change would be "still" instead of "but", which is more logical I feel. Hope the contest went well.

    Very old contest did not do any good. Thanks for coming by will look at your suggestion. Using up some funny money before I leave the place. Not sure we have met before fan me on Pinny2 (FREE ACCOUNT can't review but can read and message any errors or what I think.) so we can keep in touch when the paid accounts close Mid November.

A limerick with biographical content, wow! I am thinking it has some themes of weight loss, disappointment at not meeting expectations, and a label that might not have been helpful at all. However, a reader could also take this with just a humorous slant. Thanks for posting, or re-posting, as the case may be.

    Thanks Crystie, funny how this last little fling to use up funny money before I go has stirred up some new contacts. Appreciate the lovely review.

I take it this young man only fasted while he was asleep. What to do with him when all his clothes were too tight? He may need the 'wide load' sign to cover him up! Good luck in the contest.

This is more of a limerick than the other poems of yours I have read. It is still as humorous as your others. You have a talent for humor.

    Thanks this is actually about ME. Mum and I did this when I was a little fat fella. Still fat but a lot older now thanks for looking at some others in the collection.

Great little poem. I like the way it is easy to read and flows well. I don't think it needs work. It is short and funny.
