Obese Mass

The couch invisible, hidden by a body of mass His gut rises His gigantic thighs His round ankles His flappy breasts His chin rests on a pillow of fat that jiggles He devours his heavy meals conducting noises like a garbage disposal His ass anchors the motionless weight It sweats and sweats His wife placing another bottle of Coca Cola (A straw is used) so his neck dodges stress of bending His weight is probably due to a disease Everyone has a disease these days Driving to their doctors pleading for their prescription then driving to the pharmacy to gladly pick it up Clinging to their pill case As the fat man slurps down more pizza All of them proud to be an American
