A Glutton's Plight

My neighbor is a real glutton
At a feast, he gobbled much mutton,
Besides other meat,
Ate piles of sweet!
Now his trousers, he can’t button!!

Well, it is a sad plight for your main character in your Limerick. Sometimes a person needs to see a doctor to rule out some serious physical diseases that can cause a person to overeat. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Are you sure that you don't live on my block, Valsa. Sure sounds as if you've described me to a 'T!' Smiles, Gershon
