I'm livin' on my own now.
Thus - I gobble like a gannet
and dribble like a drunk,
the art of table manners
has now become defunct.
I feed in food ferociously
and drink my juice sporadically,
this treatment is methodical
so my body's growing fat.
The mirror wasn't lying
when it called me roly-poly,
it said 'you're being greedy,
you should think about the hungry
who are starving way in Africa-'
I know that very hell.
Now I'll have to start a diet
that will ease my guilt as well.
A great little fun poem and a great attitude about your condition. A direct, down to earth write. I can't gain a pound. tell me how.. A joy to read
Hmmm, me too Sally. Need to curb my appetite, but it is so hard. Perhaps we should go on a joint diet. Love the poem, good fun.

Getting fat, because of living on your own or 'gobbling like a gannet? 'Now I'll have to start a diet that will ease my guilt as well.' Do it soon Sally, and let us have another poem on the result!
