Weight loss????
By sheppard
14 June 2005
For everyone that has ever been on a diet!

EVERY DAY PEOPLE TRY TO LOOSE WEIGHT

SO START TODAY BEFORE ITS TOO LATE

HOP ON THE SCALES WITHOUT YOUR SHOES

HOW MANY MORE POUNDS LEFT TO LOOSE

NO BISCUITS CRISPS OR CHIPS FOR TEA

ITS ALL LOW FAT AND VEG FOR ME

THE JEANS TOO TIGHT THE BLOUSE JUST WON'T FIT

YOU'VE READ THE DIET SHEET EVERY BIT 

WILL IT HURT TO MUNCH ON SOME CHOCS

YOU STARTED WITH ONE, AND FINISHED THE BOX!

WHERE'S THE FUN IN PLATES FULL OF GREENS

LETTICE TOMATOES, CUCUMBER OR BEANS.

TOFFEE ICE-CREAM AND HOT CROSS BUN

NAUGHTY THINGS ARE MUCH MORE FUN

YOU'VE REALLY TRIED SO HARD TO GET THIN,

YOU'VE WALKED AND SWAM AND JOINED THE GYM

RUNNING IS OUT, TOO OLD TO JOG

MAYBE SELL THE BUDGIE & BUY A DOG

SO EAT UP THE CARROTS AND MUNCH ON THE CELERY

OR STICK TO JUST SEX TO BURN OFF THE CALORIES!

the rhyme scheme is very catchy which gives the poem a playfullness.  
 
i would stick to sex rather than the veg! ;)
Excellent

I enjoyed this poem and the last line is great! If only I had the chance to burn off those calories that way instead of drinking the awful slimfast. Excellent poem.
