Disgusting Commercial

DISGUSTING COMMERCIAL

As one gets older things begin to sag
Belly hangs over, energy lags

Better take thought for your health old man
Heed this add, start our diet plan

Oh, there’s fat-free, sugar-free, freedom from gas
Beach ball bloating a thing of the past

Darlene B,, bikini beauty, she lost fifty
From obese to trim now aint that nifty

I tell ya, gordo, though you may resist
Fifty off that paunch will never be missed

If going cold turkey has failed in the past
Cash on the line will save you at last

Our plan now comes with money back guarantee
So what if you pig out – go on a spree

Nothing’s lost but your self esteem
After the orgy macho bod only a dream?

No! Shovel in the junk food one last time
Then start life over, call up Trim Line

GREAT fun poem, Daver. How I hate those diet commercials. If I were rich, I'd just get it all sucked out. dang, why can't I be rich?
