Corpulence

When I was young and tall and straight and - thin
(and this was not so long ago)
I could look south beyond my belt
And down there see my wiggly toe

Both of them in fact
A pair
Of wiggly piggly toes
And all the top part of my feets
That were not hid by clothes

Some time back I came to notice
My feets were gone
My toes
(and scrotus)

Hid beyond a vast horizon
That had expanded as I'd wisened

(my wife insists I've merely widened)

(sigh)

The other day when in the shop
I bent to grab a tool I'd dropped
As I bent down my buttons popped
That once held up my jeans

I swore at Messrs Coats and Clark
Whose thread won't keep a button parked
My arse exposed
An so my tenders

(make a note to buy suspenders)


Lest you be oercome by mirth
At my tale of expanding girth
You must consider what it's worth
To keep your body slim

Should I live on naught but greens
At just the time I've got the means
To buy myself a decent steak
The very thought
My heart doth break

No more beer nights with the boys
(eating shit called "Healthy Choice")
And all that frigging Atkins noise
What's a man to do

I'll tell you that I've got a plan
To conquer my expanding span
A compromise
Some give and take

I'll only eat when I'm awake

Is that anything like a seefood diet? If so, count me in.

I have a penis down there somewhere, I think, on the other side of that big
white hump.

One portly guy to another in the showers at the local gym:

"Have you thought about a diet?"

"Dye it? Hell, I don't know what color it is now!"

(insert groan here)

(who's loving the Atkins noise...to the tune of 46lbs!)
