Flabulous
When someone says, “You look FLABulous”!
Is it just a slip of the tongue
Or are they secretly trying to let you know
You're not trim like when you were young!
Words can be cruel and hurtful at times
Specially if they're close to the truth
Sometimes they can hurt you really badly
You get into the gin and vermouth!
There's a worldwide scourge, it's called obesity
It's more serious than it's ever been
On average about sixty percent of us guys
Can be considered anything but lean!
It's a scourge that afflicting all of mankind
In this world of instant things
Microwave meals at everyone's fingertips
You're eating at the sound of the ding!
So when someone says, “You look FLABulous”!
It's a warning your life is in danger
Get on that bike or run a few miles
Take this advice from this FLABulous stranger!
