A slimmer's grace...

Dear Lord, bless this half-empty plate...
The Doctor says I must lose weight!
But I am a reluctant slimmer,
With every meal the task seems grimmer!
Lord, keep me faithful to my diet
- And keep my gastric juices quiet!

    Every dieter's prayer

    This should be said at the beginning of every weight watcher's meeting, and other groups, too. Great use of rhyme and self effacing humor anyone with some extra pounds can relate to.

      I am NOT mocking anyone... For me the best way to cope with physical suffering is to find something in it to laugh at - or at least to laugh at the necessary therapies. I have, for example a sequence of poems laughing at the various stages of cancer therapy... which my doctors asked to copy and circulate among other patients.

    That last line right there is probably the funniest thing I've gotten in this contest so far. Gastric juices... Thanks for entering again

    very funny... yes, I agree this contest is a fun one. We have a wooden cube that my daughter made with six short and pithy blessings in (German) verse glued around that can be tossed like a die at mealtime. Perhaps I'll have to make up a new one with a few of these in ENGLISH.
