    Heretofor, I take the swear
    I will not eat them in a chair
    I will not eat them on a dare
    I will not eat them at the fair
    I will not eat them in Times Square
    On this day, I do declare
    I will not eat that gummy bear!

    are you happy now

    It’s Okay to Procrastinate
    By Patricia Fernandez-Rathgeber

    There are days when I just need to sit and not do anything.
    Days when I ignore the telephone ring.
    I just sit and breathe and think,
    I don’t even worry about the dishes in the sink.
    Oh I may have some company,
    My husband, daughter or sweet summer iced tea.
    People watching is what I love to do,
    Walking by in their worn down shoes.
    I wonder why—
    They have no time to stop and just enjoy the sky.
    No book in hand, no music playing,
    Do you understand what I’m saying?
    It’s okay to procrastinate,
    It’s kind of fun to just sit…and wait.
    Don’t sit there and fret about your worries,
    Let the other people rush in their hurries.
    Just sit and feel the slightest breeze,
    And take a mental freeze.
    Just sit and don’t do anything,
    And see what joys life and nature can bring.

    I went to a candy shop
    They had lots of sweets and pop
    I ran away sad
    No candy I had
    And instead I went home to mop

    Dr. Oz
    ~~~~~~
    He comes to me,
    Smelling of raspberry ketones,
    Telling me my apple juice is poison.
    He smiles and says,
    "Trust me, I'm a doctor."
    He is Oprah's doctor, so I must believe.
    He once was respected,
    A cardiothoracic surgeon.
    Now, he just quacks.

    Posted before but here it is again;

    To MFP or not to MFP: that is the question:
    Whether ‘tis nobler in the belly to suffer
    The (onion) rings and marrow of outrageous calories
    Or to take up lifestyles against a sea of fads
    And by opposing end them? To diet, to starve;
    No more; and by starving we say to begin the thousand natural shocks
    That flesh is heir to, ‘tis a consummation devoutly to be wished? To diet, to starve;
    To starve: perchance to binge: ay there’s the rub;
    For in that starvation diet what losses may come when we have shuffled off this metabolic rate
    Must give us pause: there’s the respect that makes calamity of so long dieting;
    For who would bear the words and scorns of time,
    The “bully’s” wrong, the proud member’s contumely
    The pangs of despised advice, the mod’s delay
    The insolence of veterans and the spurns
    That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
    When he himself might his quietus make
    With a Dr. Oz? Who would buttocks
    bare,
    To grunt and sweat under a clingy wrap
    But that the dread of something after loss
    The undiscover’d state from whose bourn
    No purger returns, puzzles the will
    And makes us rather bear those lbs we
    Have
    Than lift to others that we know not of?
    Thus sloth does make cowards of us
    All;
    And thus the native hue of ketones
    Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought
    And undertakings of great pitch and moment
    With this regard their cleanses turn awry,
    And lose the name of action. – Soft tissue now!
    The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy diaries
    Be all my binges remember’d.

    Tellin you right now you don't stand a chance
    This poem is gonna make you pee your pants
    My sense of humor is prominent
    Compared to these other fools I'm dominant
    To get chicks they need chloroform
    Well call me out of the norm
    Grandma's and Warm
    That's how I like my cookies
    I'm a pro playin with the rookies
    Fist pumpin with the best like snookies
    You're a sight for sore eyes
    A heavenly blessed beauty, it's long over do
    Seems like all these chicks have thunder thighs
    But you're cute, hopefully you think I am too
    If we got to getha we'd be hotter than a fever from the flu
    My knowledge goes deep like Jorge Posada
    This poem may be cheesy like an enchilada
    But I'll go yadda yadda yadda
    Maybe even buy you Prada
    Til the clothes you have on equal nada
    Hey now, I'm gettin too far down the track
    To start off just send a message back
    Serious like a heart attack
    Maybe you can help me improve my poetry nack

    Awwww...teenage love. I didn't write this but my high school boyfriend did.....

    I love you so much
    that I'd take a bullet
    or even grow a mullet
    and let you pull it.
    I love you so much.

    That's love right there!! :D

    Kind of off topic, but I went to an art gallery opening recently and had someone tell me that he has spent the last four years of his life creating "a line of unique, interchangeable book covers for his series of experimental poetry." Who knew that poetry could be experimental? Or that it needed book covers...interchangeably?

    I knew that poetry could be experimental. Then again, I almost exclusively read poetry.

    Work sucks a*s.
    My pay is to small.
    So I'm filling my time
    with an MFP trawl.

    I should really run tests
    and evaluate data.
    But instead I read threads
    full of banter and chatter.

    :D

    I must say, I love the line break after "Grandma's and warm". Talking about getting chick and then breaking the line there--I didn't know quite what to expect. Or I thought I knew what was coming next, and it made me throw up a little.

    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    And so are my balls
    You know what to do.

    I just spit coffee all over my desk...thanks.
    I don't always spit, but when I do, I spit coffee..

    MFP is the place for me
    when I'm bored and idle at work
    I'm just a message board *kitten* and a profile creep
    so I hope no one thinks I'm a jerk

    I don't need to lose weight--I'm as thin as a rail
    in fact a really should gain
    I exercise 40 minutes a day
    to manage my fibromyalgia pain

    I run and skate and do yoga a lot
    I eat veggies, chicken and fish
    to be a toned badass and run 5k
    is my most fervent wish

    with diodelcibo for my eyes
    and jacwhite and Taunto for laughs
    MFP helps me get through my day
    as I sit on my sarcastic *kitten*

    Tell her
    If she comes to bring along
    a firefly, maybe a star
    As this heart o mine
    Like my soul
    is dark
