Dazed and confused? Not me. I’m just Lost in the Cheese Aisle.

NA PO WRI MO, DAY 1: SLIMMERICK

[April is National Poetry Writing Month: Na Po Wri Mo, for abbreviation enthusiasts.  The challenge: Write and post at least one poem a day.  Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller?  Janeen is doing it - why not you?]

Slimmerick

Frederick desired to become a slimmer Rick.
He accomplished his goal by resorting to a simple trick:
By paying careful attention to the food that he ate,
And paying a trainer to instruct him in the art of lifting weight,
He eventually lost a few pounds, equivalent to a cinder block-style brick,
And in case you haven’t noticed, this poem in no way resembles a limerick.
