A Mad Parasite

Posted May 25th, 2008 by joyce

Eating my insides
Constantly gnawing, clawing,
A mad parasite.
I'm on a new Fad Diet,
My stomach has run riot!

I like the humour in this piece Joyce, and think many of us can asociate with 'diet fads'
The last line was great and i found it the funniest part. :.)

Thanks, Debs

This poem didn't go where I thought it would at all from the first two lines, and I liked the surprise. I agree that the last line is a great one. Fun!

thanks, ms

That's what I like about the tanka. You can seem to be talking about one thing and then end about talking about something else that is related but not necessarily directly. That is half the fun! Thanks again for reading and commenting.

I've heard how bad these fad diets are for you, and I just had to comment! Thanks for your nice comment!

Joyce,

This reminds of the Three Stooges when Moe orders burnt toast and a rotten egg...the server looks mortified until Moe tells her that he has a tape worm and it's good enough for it.

Keep em coming,

Pete

glad you have a good sense of humor, Pete
