Skipped Out
It was a wretched theory. They postulated that
if we’d all collaborate, we’d lose all of our fat.
They weren’t very subtle. They gave us tubes of stuff
to squeeze over the food we ate, but never quite enough.
We had to buy the second batch, and prices just kept rising,
but we never lost a pound—a result not surprising.
Later, they skipped out of town—an act our friends found funny.
They told us from the first the only thing we’d lose is money!!!
For MVB: Skipped

Ha funny~! Years ago when I was a kid, we had a Boll Weevil outbreak. A man came to town selling a “money back” sure way to get rid of those little buggers. Most of the cotton farmers put down their hard-earned money. Soon the guaranteed killing agent arrived. Inside the box was a little block of wood, and a little hammer complete with directions. “put the Boll Weevil on the block of wood and hit it with the hammer.
