Mannequin Man:

It would be great to be a mannequin, 
For they never put on weight, 
But for me, it's too late.

oh Rick, I bet you are not as heavy as you seem to be saying! I too wish I could weight and have the figure of a mannequin!

Said with a few words, i picture it! I guess they don't manufacture fat mannequins. They just sit and stare at the food on their plate.

Your feet would be constantly sore standing at the store, the passerby's would ignore, and you'd probably be totally bored! Cute poem Rick!:)

A very witty and self-deprecating poem, Rick. Poor mannequin. Love this write. Love always to you.

Ha, I'm glad it did Jan! It was designed to do just that, but one never knows when it comes to humour now do they? I'm only 95 kilograms anywho. Which is about 210 pounds roughly I think. See how openly men can talk about their weight! Haha /|\

But some have missing limbs, so maybe life as a mannequin wouldn't be that great mate! Haha. /|\
