Fat Leg

My momma always tell's me im not like the others
That i'm different from my stupid sister and skinny brothers 
How am I different? I would ask and beg
She then said, "Hun, you got a fat leg."
I then started to wonder what that means
Wait a second I can't get my leg in my jeans
I then walked outside and got stuck in some mud
I guy then walked by and said, "Your leg is fat bud."
I screamed and I yelled,
I bellowed and flailed 
But I still couldn't get my fat leg out
My momma found me and said, "Yep, you're stuck, no doubt."
She gave me a shovel and told me to dig
I asked why and she said it's because I had a leg of a pig 
So after a couple hours I was finally free
This old fat leg don't have the best of me
Everywhere I stepped the ground shook
I can't even enjoy a dang book
So eventually I went to get an X-ray
I think I have a problem, I was about to say
But he stopped me and took off my hat
He looked at me and said, " Bud, your just fat."
