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!

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.
