Big Bertha and the Diet Pills
Big Bertha and the Diet Pills
By Elton Camp
Bertha, her figure came to hate
So she resolved to lose weight
For advice, Susan she went to see
“These diet pills really helped me”
“They’re what Weight Watchers use
So many colors from which to choose”
“The letters WW will clearly identify.
These are something you should try.”
Bertha took a dozen of the pills a day
Yet it was more & more she did weigh
Because she wasn’t getting to be trim
She saw a doctor & showed the pills to him
Doc turned them round and round
Until the problem he finally found
“Bertha, diet pills you haven’t got.”
She read them upside down he did spot
“They melt in your mouth, not your hand.
If you use them, your waist will expand.”
