I thought I would have a go at TJs Household Haiku Challenge this week as it seems a lot of fun.
Jumping on the scales
The figures climb rapidly
At my plump figure!

Don’t I know that feeling😄

Love the haiku. We only recently bought new scales after having the same set for 12 years. The new ones added an extra 4 kilos! Oh the cruel injustice! I blame the manufacturers! :)Thanks so much for participating in the challenge.

I enjoyed the challenge, Those scales would not have lasted long if I had them! Adding an extra 4 kg is enough to get them chucked out of the window!!! 🙂

No one likes to see those numbers going up…hmm just a thought here, I am sure there are people who step on it and are happy to see the numbers go up. HMMM another great thought ..perhaps they could take mine. Love the poem.

Judy E Martin
Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
