Mumu Me

Wearing a mumu again today
Fooling myself into semi-believing
no one can tell I have gained too much weight
That my thighs rub together as I walk
And I am lumbering like a beast

Wearing a mumu again today
It has paint all over it 
My justification for wearing it 
For the third day in a row
Because I am painting today in my studio

Wearing a mumu again today
So my husband can wash
The gray T-shirt and scroungy coral shorts
I had previously worn
six days in a row
verification I am a pig
