As you can see above, I'm not making much progress gaining weight. My food intake is not consistent, and I rely on too much of my energy in the form of sugars and carbohydrates. What do I have, a month left to gain 10 lbs? It's seriously bad news. Actually, sad things and bad news like this are good causes for writing. Some of the best poetry in history came during difficult times in people's lives. David, for example, wrote beautifully in the book of Psalms when things weren't going well, writing about how beautiful God is and how God is always there even in dark hours.
Honestly, I'm not a poet. My poetry is consistent, though. Lame. Lacks creativity. Predictably mechanical rhymes. Short. Um, I even count the syllables using my fingers and thumbs. (yes, I know, please....stop....I know you're laughing....just....just keep it to yourself)
So, dear Xanga, I'm turning to you. Run with it as you please. Keep it clean as always, and only one line per comment, no more than 630,884 comments per person. Please finish this poem starting with this line:
To gain ten pounds in eight weeks,

Hey, thanks for your help. I left a long response with more questions. Answer or ignore as you feel so inclined. I don't want to be a pest.
(Oh crap, I screwed up the poem)
Eat a diet of protein and leeks.
(Hi, saw your soil comment on turabiangirl's site.)
RYC: Because they were on my mind since I just bought some to finally try in the garden (been wanting to for a while), and... you know, cause it rymed with "weeks". Not that they have any special weight-gaining properties. (Sorry to disappoint.)
