Someone Told Her Children Will Starve In China
 
  Someone Told Her, Children Will Starve In China, She Believed Them
Written 1/22/2004 7: 01: 00 AM 94784
I know this is a sensitive topic for some people, but hey, so are hemorrhoids. I mean, not to offend. My family is on a diet, while another in our house, does her share to support the economy.






She has industrial sized
bags of chips at her fingertips;
her lips are salty and dry;
ten gallons a day of soda,
hits her G spot,
the way no man ever could.
Sugar comatose and still eating
hot chicken wings and thighs
nothing matters anymore
nothing but food satisfies
pound for pound
she loves nothing else
least of all herself
She has tried the South Beach diet
Atkin's failed her sweet tooth too
Three weeks of eating only meat
then one day late last week
her dog Chester up and disappeared
no one has seen him since.
Alas......
She called today to tell me,
that she's given up all the fads
and is trying
the newest craze in dieting
All you can eat misery,
while you slowly kill yourself
Now there's a diet, she can stick with.......
sad but true
