Losing Weight!



‘Lose 30 pounds in a month’

Ad with after and before pictures

Is an elusive way to lure people.

Sweating away at the treadmill

She cursed herself for that.

Every penny went down the drain

Just like the sweat at her brow.

Up and down the dumbbells went

But not her muscle pains.

Cycling on the spot was not a sport

It was the most boring act.

Neither Aerobics nor yoga

Helped her in any way .

Weight was same but she was not.

Frail she grew and was fatigued too.

All she needed now

was beer or cranberry juice,

Along with a hot Pizza

topped with shredded cheese,

Or fresh chicken on the grill.



(Sorry, no intentions whatsoever to hurt anybody's feelings)

Thanks Mr.P. Knowing your sense of humour, I was pretty sure, this would catch your attention.

Well, I was trying to use elusive in the sense of decietful or bafflingor evasive... all seemed to fit!

And thanks for pointing out the other mistakes...

By the way, what made you hungry, the pizza or the chicken?
