He always ate fast
Until the piece his last
For the cake he ate was fake

My feet have rack and bunion steering.  (Maybe I just have a calloused view.)

Who entered many a list
In competition she starred
But ended up scarred
For many items had been missed

When people on ads list how many pounds they have lost, where do the pounds go?   Do they go to some innocent bysitter?
