Buttons and Calories
A button on my shirt will not stay
if I keep on eating away.
Everybody agrees that it doesn’t look right
if a shirt I wear appears too tight.
I have to give my eating habits a rest
if I want to stop the burgeoning of my chest.
What an embarrassing predicament
when I can’t find any clothes that will fit.
If I don’t want anymore buttons to pop,
my eating habits are what I have to stop.
