On the scales I got
To measure todays weight,
That can’t be right I thought,
It was less than that yesterday!
Stood on them again,
The weight was different,
It was more!
So on I got again,
It was less!
Once more I got on them,
And again it was different.
Over the last weeks I had lost weight,
Lost weight every day,
But today was different,
The weight kept changing,
I wonder why.
I then found out why,
The weight I had thought lost
Was wrong,
The old batteries could not deal,
Deal with the unchanged weight.
The new ones did!
And once more I was back,
Back to the weight I have always been.
Are well – I can dream.

Send me the batteries that you dream on - i need to lose weight.
They are in the post.
Oh lol, good write Gold. Go by Kilos, not Pounds, and we will halve the number - 1Kilo = about 2.2 Pounds. Wondered why I weighed so little!
Yes that is the weigh to go.
it happens ... well observed GF60.. go for Duracell next time round.... N
Thanks Neville. Unfortunately I always use Duracell.
you need to get a new one.... N
Scales are the bane of many lives Goldy - - you verse well the tease of old batteries.
Thank you Fay, those scales can sometimes lift the ones from my eyes.
At least I'm not alone - age old problem or old age problem or both.
One or the other Michael, or as you say - both.
Next time use the old style scales, and do it on your birthday. Have a lot of friends and family visit with no gifts but gold or silver coins.
Then sit on one scale and let them weigh you in coins as a birthday gift.
Then your weight worries will instantly disappear, no batteries required.
Now that's an idea, I will arrange that for my next birthday.
Fine verse that rings true re scales and batteries. mine never read correct Thankyou
Thanks Moordy.
I'd keep the old batteries for the days I needed a boost
Great write gain
That is an idea Andrew. Thank you.
Brilliantly done!
Thank you Dan, most kind.
