So That's What It's Called

So That’s What It’s Called

By Elton Camp

The English language continues to grow
Now there’s one for when pants overflow
“Muffin top” has become a new addition
To describe a most deplorable condition

Really, I never could understand the way
Folks put their middle on public display
The young and trim can do it if they must
In the case of a fatso, it only bring disgust

Someone will say, “Just ignore that sight,”
But, to me, it’s like seeing a wreck or fight
From the gory it’s hard our eyes to divert
And it’s just the same for a too-short shirt
