Over indulgence
a habit to forfeit
We can't save up
sustenance
as the bears do
energy to use later
Everything stays
and sometimes grows
into great
lumps and bumps
If we stop eating
we die
slowly
but surely
lumps
intact

I hear you on this one! I'm feeling lots of those lumps and bumps these days!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along!
Oh, yes, indeed!
ReplyDeleteEverything stays
and sometimes grows..
There are some benefits of extra layers of lipids... you aren't always freezing cold!
ReplyDeleteThank you...I see the essence of the prompt ...which so far has eluded my day. Thank you for sharing.

Love it Ellecee...I am all lumps and bumps. :)
ReplyDeleteOver indulgence is just bad ~ Mixed with food, we will end up 6 feet under ~
ReplyDeleteOh those pesky lumps and bumps ~~ is there no cure?
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to hibernate though... = )
ReplyDeleteI can echo, Grace above and then below her and above me...I misread "cure?" as curve...We can just call them curves...I enjoy the likening to bears. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, our bodies don't "eat up" those lumps and belly fat. WE simply shrink into little pools of fat! Wish we could hibernate like the bears, as it would make winter so much easier... Very nicely done, a great answer to the prompt. Peace, Amy
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the silicone lumps some women will leave behind :-)
