An Ode to Skinny Jeans

Ice Cream, Chocolate, Champagne, Cheese
Fried goods, pastries, cakes – yes please!
Winter sleep ins, comfort foods,
A trip to Paris, many bad moods.


I joined the gym, I lasted a month
6am starts are designed for the tough.
And now it’s July; a stones’ throw from Spring
I tried on my jeans – the button went ping!


I arched and I stretched, I jumped and I wriggled
But alas, not to be, at least round my middle.
The diet starts now – no bread, buns or booze,
For a fashion girl I am, and that’s weight I should lose.


Weight so quick to put on, so hard to remove,
It seems my lifestyle has a whole lot to prove.
Bad diet and lazy has taken its toll
The trip back to skinny jeans – Size 10 is the goal.
