Ain'T That the Way Fat Goes

With swimming suit season so near,

Ruthie wanted to lose her huge rear.

But she lost what was best -

luscious curves from her chest.

Then she needed a tiny brassiere!

This fits me fine, except the fat went off my butt and landed on my gut. This is the reason I can't spend too much time at the computer - those jutting bones. "Dem bones, dem, bones, dem butt bones. Now hear da word ob da Lawd." Are you too young to remember this song? Love, Dave
