Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Resolve to Lose Weight

New Year's resolution for me,

Hubby nagged, was to lose some weight.

Much wine later I did agree,

But Hubby made me sign and date

A contract on the weight I'd lose.

Every pound more Hubby agreed

To pay a percent toward a cruise

For me and my girl friends, indeed

An incentive well worth making

Such a resolution, and I

Fully intended not breaking,

Just a tweak on how to comply.

I lost a lot of weight of course,

All of Hubby's weight by divorce.
