Let’s Build a Poem Together 3

(in it’s completion)

I can see so much in this mirror before me

The years have passed by, they've been so unkind

That’s beginning to collect itself on my fat behind

My melons are not quite as firm as before

My bottle shaped figure, now looks like a pear

The tight bum I once wiggled now sits on the floor

My bumps that were here, have sunken down there

Time plays us all, his guise unfair

I’ve got aches in places that didn’t before exist

I can't get my ankles to walk up the stairs

My Bow Flex “come hither’s”, yet still I resist

Some weights, an exercise bike lost under the bed

Will never replace my chair and these chips

Twinkies and Ho Ho’s, dance through my head

A moment on the lips, 3 life times on the hips!

From my once toned arm, hangs a huge mud flap

When I try to run, I just hear "Slap, Slap, Slap"

Gone are the days of dressing scantily clad

These are such fun to put together especially when I have such creative poets supplying me my pieces.

and a rhyme scheme to follow if you so desire.

I’ll keep doing them as long as you keep playing.
