Diet

the site seems to have messed up with this poem so I'm reposting

This is the story of Hugh Mongusbum

A free spirit and a wonderful mate

Kind and generous as a rule of thumb

Though he’s a little bit overweight

 

He’s wife doesn’t enjoy sex anymore

His gut is to blame, his weight an ordeal

Not on the bed, not even on the floor

In his shoes, imagine how you’d feel

 

He exercised daily, went to the gym

Worked out ‘n pumped iron n’ used the treadmill

Hoping that one day he will become slim

But fat and flabby he remained still

 

The nutritionist saw the problem straight away

So he suggested: “why don’t you diet?”

In Hugh’s face joy took the place of dismay

He said: “which colour d’you think she’ll like it?”

Loved the eponymous name of the owner of the abominable abdominals , together with the colourful finale. You certainly know how to bring out the worst in your character and the belly laughs (sorry, no pun intended) for your readers. Thanks,Woody, for being my favourite sit down comedien.

[Woody]

You're welcome. It did indeed. You might like my I LOVE MEN poem. ;) It is a little bit naughty though. Suzanna

[Dynafox]

I like that you seem to do a lot more whimsical poems then most of the overly deep and dark poems in here. It's nice to remind those this medium can also be silly and playful.

[Woody]

ah now you're entering my realm :)
unlike "I wish", this one's like 98% of my writes. mostly in the humourous genre.
thanks a lot for stopping in again to read Dynafox. glad you liked it.

[Taylor]

Well, what a play on words, but I wonder what on earth is going to spill out next! Thanks for the chuckle.

[Woody]

[LastMonth]

Hahahaha!
That's what I'm talking about it.
Haymakers. I like to consider your finishing lines like an uppercut delivered in the right moment to knock out an opponet.

This one is great. It seems like a silly ol' joke but there's a real meaning behind it.
And the fact that it's hilarious is a nice bonus.

Thanks for the story mate.

[Woody]

thanks again LM. my poetry prowess is very limited so I try to make the reader laugh so they fail to notice my shortcomings.
thanks a lot.

[EMMIE]

Haaaaaaa ha ha ha ha! I am literally laughing out loud! This is too funny, and I am sure people out there can totally relate to this lol. Fun and enjoyable read! I like your sense of humor.

[Woody]

and I'm overjoyed and flattered :) thanks a lot for stopping to read and for the kind words, Emmie.

[Winslow Des Totes]

XD again you got me in stitches! Very clever use of syntax here that certainly helps with the flow. I dare say this is nearly a poem as much as a story but another fun one too! You've yet to disappoint!

[Woody]

aww you're so sweet. thank you, Winslow. I'm glad and flattered you like my twisted writing.

[Winslow Des Totes]

I myself am quite twisted so it seems we are of one mind! I'm still laughing here and that says a lot I guess about both of us >.<

[Shabeeh Haider]

This brought a smile to my lips. You are indeed very talented if you can manage to convey your message in rhyme.
Very well written.

*shabeeh*

[Woody]

thank you Haider for reading and for the kind words. much appreciated. I'm so glad this made you smile.

[Sierra]

I love this! It's so unexpected at the end and has a funny twist to it! Not expecting it at all not even one bit! Keep up the excellent work!

[Woody]
