The tale begins just one week hence,
There came a
challenge deemed quite immense.
A rogue named
Jack threw down the gauntlet,
And called vile names those who did not want it.
He spewed black venom with bile and spit,
This villain with the surname
“Sh*t.”His reasons why, why we know not,
But he plagued the land of Blogalot.
The first to answer Mad Jack’s decree
Was a knight that we call
Sir Mrs. B.She proved to “B” a heart-strong fighter,
And ended her quest a half-pound lighter.
As the deadline was drawing nigh,
Some had their doubts about
Sir Chai.But her adventure did win renown,
As she too dropped that half a pound.
What of
Sir Kelly from the land of Texas,
Whose recent weight gain sort of vexed us?
Oh, she rebounded in a manner splendid,
A half pound down when this week ended.
In from her garden came
Sir Lorie,
To harvest the fruits (and veggies) of glory.
Her plants may wither on the vine,
But her half-pound loss will forever shine.

There was no stopping brave
Sir Jo.
She stayed one whole week upon the wagon,
And bravely slew the half-pound dragon.
Admire the will of
Sir Spunky Suzi,With spirit that’d make a grown man woozy.
Weighing in a half pound less,
This was no damsel in distress.
Hear the tale of the courageous
Sir Katy,
Who bravely took on this challenge weighty.
And wrestled the half-pound to the floor,
And won renown and fame galore.
Some took this challenge as a crisis,
But twas not the case for brave
Sir Lissus.
How she achieved it, it’s still unknown,
But she pulled a half-lb. loss from stone.
Sir Vraz60 couldn’t follow instructions,
But matched the other knights’ reductions.
The pounds that she somehow dispensed were
Enough that I could not hold it against her.
Of bold
Sir Crystal, songs shall be sung.
She’s achieved so much for one so young.
Yes, a half-pound loss for this brave lass;
She came, she saw, she kicked some ass.
For brave
Sir TJ there was no resting,
As she journeyed forth on her weight-loss questing.
She followed through on her bold pledgin’,
Her half-pound loss is stuff of legend.
Some thought
Sir Laura to be fallible,
But she shined as brightly as Excalibur.
And like that sword she made the cut,
And took a half pound off her butt.
We had high hopes for
Sir Hopeful’s quest,
As she took the challenge with zeal and zest.
A week went by and this brave soul
Dropped half a pound and met her goal.

The chapter she added to this story

Sir Caley,
Whose name shall ring forth through the valley.
What was the achievement of this maiden?
A half-pound loss when she weighed in.

knight called
Sir Rosie (of the Diet Soda).
With a half-pound loss, there was no doubt.
This was one weight-loss warrior who would not fizz out.
There where some who questioned brave Sir Gayle,
And wondered if she could prevail.
But it turned out to be a question moot
As she lost a half pound on her pursuit.
Who can forget the intrepid
Sir Dawn,
Who went and got her weight loss on?
She met this challenge and was undaunted,
and got the half-pound loss she wanted.

Sir MB can bring some
A fact that’s known throughout the kingdom.
Her deeds were deemed both great and gallant;
She lost .5 lbs (and that takes some talent).

Sir BigGirl’s tale
As againt all odds she did prevail.
Yes, a half-pound loss she did record,

Sir Roder more than held his own.
He gritted his teeth, hitched up his pants,

Sir Jenn,
The bravest knight since who-knows-when.
Why she may be as courageous as King Arthur,
And taken her weight loss a half pound farther.
Surely, none among you could blame me
For doubting the will of brave
Sir Aimee.
But she proved to be quite sound of will,
And the half-pound pledge she did fulfill.
A moment of silence for gallant
Sir Connie,
Who failed in the challenge of becoming more scrawny.
She fell on the battlefield, battered and muddy,
Slain in her prime by Sir TOM the Bloody.
With a will as strong as dragon’s breath,
Sir Heather challenged the half-pound to the death.
For a while there it was anyone’s game,
But she made the weight and won her fame.

The Calorie Cruncher, the Scale Destroyer.
Did she manage to accomplish the half-pound task?
Of course–I’m surprised you even had to ask.

Took up the challenge with all of his might.
Against considerable odds this warrior did trump,
And finished the week a half pound less plump.
Sir Shelley took on the challenge of this quest
Driven as if by a demon possessed.
Through hardship and darkness she did race,
And with a half-pound loss, earned a smiley face.

Like Merlin, her story seems imbibed with magic.
For her week seemed most enchanted.
Half-pound wished for, half-pound granted.

Took the challenge head-on directly.

I don’t mean this to sound crass or satirical,
But her half-pound loss was truly a miracle.

Wounded by a potato jacket.
Still she managed to recover

Of maidens fair, of heroes victorious.

These be the
Knights of the Less-Round Table.
