Notes About The Poem

Written - 8th September 2024

 

 

Big Belly

There is a man who had a big belly
That wobbled just like a bowl of jelly
It rocked the baby to sleep
Allowiing the wife some peace
Peace was a night on the town with Kelly.

His smile soon turned into a sulky pout
When once the wife stayed all of the night out
His vocals were obscene
Making the baby scream
The wife swore that he had no need to shout.

He tried hard but he could not believe her
He thought her a fibber and a loser
So he shed his big tum
Now he’s out having fun
Wishing he’d shed his big belly sooner.

John Read Date: 9/9/2024 10:35:00 AM He heard his wife complaining, So decided to do some training, He joined a gym, To make him thin, But pulled a muscle with all the straining.
