Redneck roof
will outlast the shed
finished at last

It was an honour and a surprise too,
though I knew I had been nominated,
almost late to group, was I, with making stew
to share on picnic table, as mandated,
for the epithet of Woman of the Year
at least within our little group of folk
who meet on Wednesdays in Boythorpe here.
When my name was called, a sob my throat did choke
t'was such delight to be so recognised
for all the effort I have made to slim
from morbidly obese down to a normal size
though it's certain I am not yet thin.
And for those who face this challenge on their way,
I rec' "Slimming World" and Jiu-jitsu every day.
