Faulty Aspiration


An aspiring Aphrodite
Decided on a whim
To curb her appetite-y
To make her sleek and slim

Alas it didn't work too well
Her corpulence remained
She couldn't lose her tummies' swell
Her waistline never waned

When her Aphrodite aspiration
Did not come to pass
She lost her motivation
To lose her hefty ass

Then happily she realized
Becoming more astute
Beauty is not set by size
So her dieting was moot

To go from no inspiration to Aphrodite is a quantum jump Stan...and we are all the better for it. I suppose, if one needs a muse, might just as well reach for the sky.

As good a lesson as it is a chuckle! I enjoy especially the second stanza. Waistlines do seem reluctant to wane...
