She was distraught when she called...


Poem Artwork

I answered my cell phone
She said she had a bad week
I could hear it
In her voice
She had trouble
When she tried to speak
She said it was silly
I asked her to explain
She said her coffee shop
Closed down, and she would
Never be the same
Then she said
Her fitness center
Closed down too
And wondered
What she is going to do
You see it isn't just her
Her friend and her concur
That a loss is a loss

The pounds they
Would have lost
Are truly going to cost
Because now they
Are grazing non-stop
And are ready to pop
You can understand why
They seem so glum
They fear they will succumb
To weight loss ho hum

*Cheer up DeeDee (my sis) and Nancy...better days ahead...Love ya

Tell them to announce their new fitness center...and coffee shop combined! All can meet at the "All You Can Eat Smorgasbord", for free coffee and as many runs up to the food station as they want!
LOL! Only kidding...they will eventually come to a level of disatisfaction in idling and eating, that they will conjur something else up!
Love and Peace~
