Blueberry Girl




A voluptuous girl Sweet Berry

evidenced by ample girth

maneuvering feels quite scary 

warning, warning ~ requires a wide berth!


A voluminous girl so lovely and lush

blueberry fueled ~ she's grown so plump

chock-full of juice ~ she's ready to gush

true test they say ~ just give her a thump!

 

A vociferous girl she is indeed

‘measure my belly’ as she screams

wanting to look thin as a reed

imagines it clearly each night in her dreams!

 

Off to the juicer we wish you sweet dreams

painless they tell her ~ no worries at all

already you're falling apart at the seams

 when squeezing has ended .. you WILL be quite small!

    Aha, so Berry's to get her wish to be slim after all. I love happy endings!

    It looks as if Miss Berry is going to get her wish to be slim after all. I just love a happy ending!!

    Adorable, she is as well as the personification. I did laugh out loud at "you're falling apart at the seams".

    Dearest Helen,
    No doubt, if passing through the juicer there will be very little left as it is mainly juice that fills her up. But oh so yummy; prefer to bite her though, instead of juicing her to death...🫐🫐🫐
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    This is clever, funny, and a tad mean to Miss Berry — but not cruel. Well written Helen. 🙂

    Adorable poem. Willy Wonka keeps popping up with my girls. My daughter as a child performed in a dance/drama Wille Wonka And the Chocolate Factory.
    And in 2020 (last carnival until we are safe from Covid) my granddaughter of 7 portrayed The Golden Ticket in her class carnival band.

    Thanks for dropping by to read mine . You should visit again i added a crucial line in my poem and added a music video

    Much💖love

    Love the humour, Helen! All centred around Miss Berry's belly. To be smallish eventually!

    I love your take on this one! Such a great use of the fruit prompt. The plump blueberry Sal will be quite thin when she hit the big squeese!
    Very well done Helen!

    Thank you for the humorous read, I guess she will now shed a bit of weight. Poor Ms. Blueberry. I can’t help thinking of Willy Wonka when the girl ate what she shouldn’t have.

    I love this! The imagery made me giggle aloud. And the whole thing makes me want to reread the book!

    To personify a blueberry is so fun, but I feel sad now drinking. I usually make jam from blueberry

    Helen,
    This made me laugh out loud, as indeed the movie did! What a hapless tale of "our Berry."

    Lol. I always loved this book. And I imagine once Miss Berry is juiced there'll be nothing left but skin!
