Mine:

I don't go out much these days -
I'm just telling you so that you know
That I'm eating this ice cream
Because I'm letting my body go...

@Marc: it's always nice to see a poem from you, and given your recounting of your life yesterday I feel that this poem is probably just wishful thinking. Though since you have two kids now, shouldn't your target be to get a 'dad-bod'? ;-) However, anything that yields an excuse to eat ice-cream is good enough for me!

Homebody
"Tegulated public lice are an endangered species,"
The doctor's words made me feel alone and shoddy.
"So they can't be killed, you've got to keep them."
It seems I'm someone else's home-body.

[Fun fact, google doesn't know the word 'tegulated' and wants to replace it with 'regulated' despite getting 29,000 results when you tell it to behave and search for what you asked for.]

Greg - I am aspiring for dad-bod a little further down the line, thanks :P

This poem is seriously amazing. I'm not sure how you managed to turn this into poetry but you did, and did it well.

And yes, Google is very silly sometimes.
