Lil’s lost over two hundred and eighty pounds Of ugly, useless and unwanted fat Her best friend said “Lil you should be proud You’ve finally divorced the bone idle pratt” Some folk may find this poem funny I guess humor is pretty subjective But if it raises a chuckle or smile I’ve achieved my goal and objective!
