If The Woman Poem by Raymond Farrell
If The Woman
If the woman
Was one ounce under 350 pounds
I'd have been surprised
And the last place
She needed to be
Was a fast food restaurant
Her tray was ladden
With a virtual cornucopia
Of the usual fast food junk
Each item guaranteed
To perpetuate her obesity
Except one
There, sitting by itself
Was a diet Coke
Somehow, perhaps, she thought
This would make a difference
Of maybe
She just preferred the taste

How funny! But you are so right. Obesity is a problem now - healthwise, and it's not very pretty, either. When will people wake up? I think they have no mirrors in their houses. Very good poem - truth delivered in a most entertaining way.
Thank you for taking time to read the poem. It is sad to realize how people's behavior undermines their health, and yet a simple change would make such a difference in the health of the nation overall.
