Bloated

New Jersey has a governor Who wants to rule the land, But people have a problem Seeing Christie in command. It’s not his personality (Though he thinks he’s all that!) Or brains or drive or vigor – It’s the fact that he is fat! He isn’t slightly overweight But closer to obese. His stomach, in his pants, looks like It’s praying for release. So recently it was revealed Some surgery was done, To hasten weight loss so his image Voters will not shun. For presidents today are fit So when they’re photographed, They look more like Obama Than like William Howard Taft. I’m really not a Christie fan, (He’d never get my vote) But he’d look more presidential If he’d banish all that bloat!

Photographed and Taft. With rhymes like that, it's dirty rotten shame I'm the only one to have commented. They don't know what they've missed.
