What else can one do but laugh...


Poem Artwork


 


My back aches,


My stomach rebelled,


Too much candy, no dinner,


Not going am I this way to get thinner…


 


Dragging myself out of bed,


Is a pain all in itself,


My doggy though is well fed,


While his daddy is afraid to feed his head…


 


The neighbors are having a party,


Fried chicken, blue fish, eatin’ tonight hearty,


Deviled eggs & potato salad,


Listening to the neighbor sing a ballad…

i related mostly to the part about having a hard time crawling out of bed...where did these sore places come from, i didn't have them a few years ago...i didn't even have the 'places' a few years ago, much less the pain

Sounds like a delightful evening ahead for you......but don't forget what is causing your pain today and you won't have to go through it tomorrow.

If you won't take care of yourself, go over and let the neighbors feed you, it sounds like they will be having some good eats and fun times to boot. Take a couple of tablets for your head and tummy then get out there and kick up your heels...the exercise will help to neutralize the candy calories from yesterday.
Take care,
Sherry
