Growing Old Disgracefully

My middle aged spread sure is spreading
Right before my very eyes
My tush is the size of a hippo
And I dare not mention my thighs

My once pert boobies have gone south
They were once like ripe juicy fruit
Now they're dangling towards my knees
So no one sees me in my birthday suit!

I’ve more chins than the Chinese phone book
In fact I look like a little fat Buddha 
I’d considered having cosmetic surgery … but
Some of the celebrity pictures sure me shudder!

Fiction poem for fun

Sidney Beck Date: 10/9/2017 8:43:00 AM I love it, especially the title hahaha...............well done! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 10/13/2017 2:17:00 PM I think the title is just as important as the actual body of the poem:-) I'm sure i miss some brilliant poems on soup but if the title doesn't grab my attention it may get overlooked:-) hugs jan xx
