Why do we spend so much time in the gym, <br />Why is it that we feel we must keep slim, <br />On cycling, long hours we spend, <br />But, go nowhere, in the end, <br />It's really hard work this trying to stay trim! <br /> <br />We watch the calories as they mount up high, <br />And cannot seem to control our intake - Why? <br />We always need a snack, <br />This slimming, we can't crack, <br />The effort of trying really makes one cry! <br /> <br />We should be happy with the shape we are, <br />And just enjoy eating, our chocolate bar, <br />Magazine diets just make us blue, <br />So, just what are we to do, <br />We always seem to feel, well below par! <br /> <br />Perhaps a 'Personal Trainer' would be nice, <br />He'd have us slim and fit within a trice, <br />But these thoughts may be just dreams, <br />And we'll stay, bursting at the seams, <br />Because this slimming game, comes with a 'weighty' price! <br /> <br />© Ernestine Northover<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-to-be-slim/
