Fit for a king's table
all dressed and garnished
fit for a horsman's stable
all groomed and harnessed
fit for the matron's hall
all maintained and selected
fit for her ladies on call
all prepared and protected
fit when you lose inches about the waist
far from fit when you wither and waste
fit you describe when the scale returns a favour
fit you become when you consume less sweet flavours.
A fit you could throw if you don't get your way;
it was fit for a king's table, not fit to stay.

A fit you say
A fit you play
A fit you sow
A fit I throw,

just because your fits fit my mood.

I like 'em

BRAVO!!! Ooohhhhhh...this is wonderful, sweet friend, yep, that word certainly does have a lot of meanings! Wow, oh my gosh, this would make a fabulous poetry challenge; we find a word with multiple meanings or syntax and write a poem using each meaning! (big hugggssssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, I LOVE IT!!! We all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

martin darling boy this is utterly outstanding, you are an absolute master at writing these wonderful and perfectly constructed poems. As always I love it, and you knew I was going to say that.

You really are an excellent writer, and you fit right in my library. Utterly utterly perfect

Love and warm stuff
As always
