Happiness Equals 20 Pounds
happiness equals 20 pounds
this added weight is getting me down
once stick thin but alas, no more
putting it on was an easy chore
don't get me wrong, I'm not bitching
but for younger days, I am wishing
way back then I was much leaner
now flab is part of my demeanor
going to boot camp, eating low carb
so I can wear a lot less garb
losing ten would be just great
listing everything that I ate
the older I get, the harder it seems
to shed these pounds is not a dream
working hard, making calories count
it will fall off I have no doubt
up and down the spinner goes
maybe the scale is a lie, who knows
but I'll get fit and stay that way
and still keep happiness in each day
