Does Your Back End Waddle

Does your back end waddle like a duck? Does your rear sway from side to side? Is there a rumbling sound when sitting down With large ripples in your hide? Perhaps it's that second piece of apple pie Or that box of chocolates you consumed I've seen you down an extra large pizza It's a while before your breathing resumes There is a cure for this age old problem It's called pushing away from the table But it sure takes a lot of intestinal fortitude For some of us we're just not able! Do you ever get totally discouraged And think you're losing your mind You're definitely in the majority today The country's sliding into the brine! There's still hope for all us tubby people But we really must try to persevere Forego that second large ice cream cone And a trimmer you will appear!

Well, my problem, Jack, is that when I push away from the table, the table pulls me right back. Can you believe it?! lol. What's a fella to do?

Hello Jack! 2yrs ago I was 210 now I am 160. It is a change of lifestyle. You got to get up off that keister and move around and yes you have to eliminate the sugar. great to read you again. Hoping you are well old friend.

At the ripe old age of 87, it becomes really difficult! We lose our incentive... MUST try HARD! Thanks for dropping in Daniel! Cheers!

Moderation in all things, Jack...especially food. I teeter-totter around 200, but I don't appear obese, so I'm content. But, I sure would love to be 185 again! Good one, my friend.

I like this one. I totally understand the problem of the person in your poem. As I always say desserts are behind me. Sara
