So Much To Lose
With a look in the mirror I see
I'm as round as a bumble-ing bee.
Having so much on show
(yes, wherever I go)
a tri-kini I'll need at the sea
Though some people may say that I'm stout,
do they know what they're talking about?
In all matters of size,
the beholder's blue eyes,
discern only the parts hanging out
But in order to taper and trim
will require I burn at the gym.
So I think that I'll start
with a blueberry tart
so I'll have enough vigor and vim.
To reduce my excess was the quest
so it's needless to say I was stressed.
Eating soup made of prunes
through the pale afternoons…
Well then now you can guess all the rest.
