Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Weight Less

Charly's a tubby teddy bear

According to awful true scales.

He has a sweet tooth, he's aware,

And so added poundage prevails.

"Go on a diet," says his wife,

But skinny, she can't understand,

A diet's full of stress and strife,

Notwithstanding spousal demand.

So Charly has promised his wife, he,

To please her, will surely lose weight,

Giving his wife a guarantee,

She'll soon have a less tubby mate.

Charly feels he'll lose weight for sure,

By shaving off all of his fur.
