There once were some fat grams inside me
That only showed themselves OUTside me
I was in a huge rut
and obtained such a gut
But Dr. Atkins came along and he saved me.

Anyone else for limericks (I'm Irish).

...but a wee thing I wrote about a year ago when someone asked about Dr Atkins' name:

R is for the red in all the meat we now can eat
O is for the oil we use that seems like such a treat
B is for the bacon that we eat each sunny morn
E is for the eggs with which the bacon we adorn
R is for the running I'll be doing bye and bye, and
T is for the time I wasted eating junk like pie.

A is for the apple that we used to eat in pie
T is for the trust we have (We know he'd never lie!)
K is for the knowledge that we're going to be skinny
I is for my belly button - it really is an "innie!"
N is for the novelty of eating fat and cream
and
S is for our svelte backsides - one day. I can but dream.

I love limericks!

There once was a girl named Leigh
Who woke up to a fat jelly belly
Then to her suprise
Dr. Atkins opened her eyes
Now there is a lot less of her to see


My breath smells somewhat bad
my friends now step back a tad
But I have lost some of my weight
and I really feel great
for that I am really quite glad
