Poem: Lament On Moving to a New Size of Levi's.

[trackfan]

In jeans, a twenty-seven/thirty-six
once fit; but that was long ago. Then, soon,
I buttoned up a twenty-eight - and those
I wore for quite some time. Then twenty-nine
became the size I used for days on end.
It seems that as the years went by my stay
at each successive size was shorter than
the last; but then I managed for a while
to stanch the growth at waist size thirty-three.
I held there for a decent span of days,
but buttons burst, and could no longer hold
me in. Now, though the length remains the same
at thirty-six, the waist continues on
its outward march; and I now have to buy
my Levi 501s in thirty-four.

1. I had a 36 inch waist when I was 11

Then I started growing up more than out and the expanse remained at 40 for a long time. As I entered my mid thirties I balooned out to a 48, and that's where I was 3 months ago. I am now back down to 40 and maybe in a day not to far from now I'll be back down to where I was when I was 11.

2. Looks like we're headed to the same spot

in opposite directions. That's quite a drop in the last three months! Good luck to you.

3. Counter point.

Remember thy birth.

Restrain thy girth.

None of this is necessary.

No cause for mirth.

You have great worth.

No need for cash and carry.
