Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Origami Belt

A sheet of paper I did take,

With intention of folding, so

An origami belt I'd make.

And when was done, that belt I'd show

To the wife to prove that I be

Doing well in the diet that

The wife had demanded of me.

So I was motivated at

Folding the paper in such way

As to become a perfect fit.

Regrettably, to my dismay,

I'd been shortsighted about it.

Before the wife I was red faced,

A waste of paper for my waist.
