Identity

I don’t identify as fat
But I can see my rear is that
Why be a fool
To thine own self be true
Loving me in distracting new hat

I like this poem. A hat is a good foil. But it is swimming season and we have trouble covering those bad spots.

We have to accept as we are and be proud of our identity. Great limerick, dear Karen. The ability to make fun of ourselves is an appreciable quality.
