Overweight Mate

In a chat with my long-time best mate

Who’d a penchant for putting on weight

I confided I felt

That he could be quite svelte

If he ate from a much smaller plate

My plate is smaller than my husband's - he eats landscape - I eat portrait. Big sigh of defeat.😓

Hi Trevor,
Like your mate has a penchant for putting on weight, I have a penchant for limericks.
Your limerick made me smile! I love the playful tone and the lighthearted way you address this sensitive subject. The way you manage to combine humour with a little bit of honest advice is refreshing. It’s a clever way to talk about something we all can relate to—finding the balance in life. I’m sure your mate would appreciate the humour in it, too! Keep writing, your wit definitely shines through in this one.
