Written - 8th September 2024

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.

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.

A tale of merriment. I used to love beer, but now I stick to a small glass of good wine. Hugs.
