We interrupt this program to bring you the news of the untimely demise of our poet laureate , Jim Stone. He was a brilliant man, wise beyond his years. Too bad he left us before reaching goal weight.

A few couplets
=========

Sushi octopi so raw
is hard to find in Iowa

Oh, I owe ma and I owe pa
For raising me in Iowa

Rarely is the sky so blah
as is the sky in Iowa

Ok you lost me on that one

Wait, Jim - have you seen these:

Limericks from the singles thread about Iowagirl...

There once was a midwestern lass
Who's talking was quite crude & crass
But the boys found her fetching
And all dreamed of catching
The girl we all call the smarta$$

Our favorite wisecracking blonde
Took a neat little trip cross the pond
Standing high on the bar
Those bras sure did go far
And the brit boys did surely respond

Hey I just read thru ten pages of this and now I remember there was something about some pictures of Iowa? Whet ever came of that?

Those are nice limeriks. Are they accurate?

Racer, I was just trying to find some things that rhymed with 'Iowa'. I'll admit that my "solutions" to the problem are a bit of a stretch, though.

Are they accurate? Well I'm not sure. Do the boys chase her? I'm thinking so. I mean she's got suitors all over the place. Was she flinging her bras off while dancing on the bar in the UK? She says she was, but I'm not sure about that. Not that I would put it past her, but then she's working with disrupting the whole space-time continuum...

Jim you did not lose me, Iowa did with the post just before yours.. Man is it 3:30 yet?

Hey! Hey! Geez, a girl goes off to a business meeting and all hell breaks lose!

I posted my pic in the singles thread. Like 3 pages back from where it is now. (page 119, like post 1780 or something)

As for the rest...I plead the 5th.

Restaruant ideas:

outback steakhouse has some beef
it's top sirloin for me
fish caught off the coral reef
are tasty as can be

Getting food at Mickey D's
Is easy and quite fun
"A double quarter pound with cheese..
and that's without the bun."


Feel free to add your own!

--Jim

There is nothing at
DQ that I can eat now
I'll just have water.

Oh great Jack in Box
big ultimate cheeseburger
why cheese stick to bun?

KFC has chicken,
but it is always breaded
I used to like to eat there
But them tatos sure is dreaded.

No more fluffy biscuits,
No more coleslaw sweet,
No more extra krispy
Cuz it goes right to my seat.

Alright, let's get some others to contribute low carb restaurant poems.

I don't think it's a good idea that Iowa and I be left alone in this room again.
