Slim Consolations
You ought to thank your stars,
you have the fortune
of having only to pay a fortune
to lose weight,
just so your waistline
and cholesterol and gluttony
you will be able to temporarily
beat.
Somewhere, many more
are not as lucky as you are;
though they don't have
bulging fats to defeat,
they're so ill-starred
as to have the misfortune
of simply having nothing
to eat!
