Ode to my once slim waist

 

Where are you my long lost friend?

My true partner through many bends

My slim fit jeans miss you dearly

So do many of my lovely kurtis

 

I should not have taken you for granted

Please know that I have since repented

Chocolate, fries, butter broke our marriage

You left me and I expanded, it’s tragic

 

I am a changed girl now, I swear my friend

Fatty food does not charm, I’ve made amends

Must our love be so shallow and transient?

Please forgive me, let’s once more be friends

 

Together we made quite an impression on men

Drinks spilled, temperatures rose, all eyes froze when

You and I swayed into a room, we did not have to try

To use wit, work hard for impact, Oh now I could cry

 

I know I did not treat you with love and care

So you left me for more youthful figures

But they are self absorbed and shallow

Come back my love, I’ve since mellowed

 

Together we shall flirt, we’ll do it with flair

Dance, exercise and I’ll treat you with care

You are the love of my life, you are my muse  

See, I wrote you an ode, so do not refuse

  27. The Quirky Indian on May 27th, 2009 6:07 am

    Why do you pine for an inconsistent and unreliable love? Stick to the fat: it’ll never desert you! :-)

    Cheers,

    Quirky Indian

    You have a point Quirky

  28. Pal on May 27th, 2009 9:09 am

    He he he! That was lovely! One suggestion: Change the title, its a dead give-away :-)

    Ohkay! What do you think I should name it?

  29. Pal on May 27th, 2009 9:10 am

    @Indy- That was an awesome sequel ;-)

    @Quirky- ROFL at your comment,and I totally agree!

  30. Indian Homemaker on May 27th, 2009 11:38 am

    Wait Ritu, make no haste!
    On one hand we have ice creams and choco chips!
    On the other just a tiny little itty bitty waist?
    I’d wave a cheerful goodbye to slender hips
    And apply myself to enjoying yummy, rich buttery taste ;)
    (I know you said waist not hips but I was trying to rhyme!) :)

  31. Swaram on June 8th, 2009 9:42 am
