6th January 2025

 



home again

a blanket of snow

turns to slush

Bugger me! My weight has increased anew

from three days and nights in warm Torbay

with breakfast served and meals out, 'tis true:

a Christmas present short break from DK

And though each day began with walking pups

down to Oddicombe where the sand is red

I had my fill of take-away and chips

and nuts to nibble; marmalade to spread.

But when I visit Slimming World today

and spread my girth upon the silver scales

the lady there will purse her lips and say

"This meeting group is full of glut'nous whales."

 But jiu-jitsu classes start again, tomorrow

 my weight will drop once more, and end this sorrow.
