WEIGHTLESSNESS
by John Yeo
“Ferdinand, I have to go to Weight-Watchers this morning, I have a weigh-in. Last week I came out two pounds over my recommended body-weight. I keep telling that gruesome coordinator that I am heavy boned, and the more calcium I ingest the heavier I become. I think I will have to consider some elementary changes to decrease my bone-density. I was far heavier when I wore flesh, l needed a lot of food-intake to keep the whole apparatus alive.”
“Yes Esmeralda my dear.” Thought Ferdinand, breaking into the interminable flow of thoughts.
“Have you seen my robes? I will need to cover up if I am to leave the crypt, I am sure they are around somewhere. Last time I wore them was on Halloween night when we went out haunting together. I do resent having to go all the way to a public crypt to a Weight Watchers session. The rattle of all those dangling bones would be unbearable if we had any ears to hear with.”
“Yes Esmeralda my dear.” Ferdinand replied.

Hahahaha! I think the participants of Weight Watchers have taken this weight loss thing a little too far! LOL!! Cute story John! I love the part about the “the rattle of the dangling bones.” Hahaha!
I enjoyed pushing the humor out with this one PJ ~ Glad you enjoyed this 🌞
It was fun!
Poor Ferdinand. Even after death he’s getting yack yack yack from the wife 🙂
Ah! Merely the art of communication taken to the highest ethereal level Ali, Thanks for commenting. 🙂
Ha! It’s funny, but sad that not even in death are we free from the heaviness of life, such as the overbearing wife and worrying about weight! Big Boned! I’m going to use that one at my next meeting lol
Good luck ~ I reckon bone density is a huge addition on the weigh-in scales. My wife has no truck with my theory though. Thanks for reading and commenting. 🙂
Funny! I think the robes may be with someone’s Halloween costumes! They may be used next year! It’s a shame that Weight Watchers is still necessary when you are down to bones! Doesn’t give much hope to the Weight Watchers that are struggling right now to get down to size! 🙂
Oh! Jessie ~ I think that weight loss after death is a slow but sure process, leading to a balanced weight. Old ingrained weight-watching habits die hard even in the after-life. 🙂
Loved this very much.
Thanks Chioma ~ I’m glad you liked this post ~ 🙂
Weight loss to the extremities. Very funny take 🙂
Even in death the desire to be ever slimmer continues! Great depiction of their relationship with Ferdinand barely able to get a word in. 🙂
