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.”
