Christopher Flaherty Poet Shape

Square Get Into Shape Maureen

Get into Shape Maureen

Scary words for a Square

Or if you are a fat get like me 

My head is the shape of a potato 

My waistline resembles a Burger

And my bum takes the shape of a Doughnut 

Because I can't keep my mouth shut

And I have Pear induced childbearing hips 

And my thighs pass for ships in the night

So I can't wear anything tight

For fear of splitting the seams on my skinny jean's lol

And i have to wear a sport's Bra to flatten my bust

So I don't get asked out on many date's 

And on-line dating is out of the question

Unless I fail to mention

When asked to describe my body Shape ?

Because I then would have to reply ?

Round a kind of figure of 8

Not so much a Shape

More a Pyramid with uneven side's 

Or a Poached Egg attached to a head

You say Shape 

I say Clay

Or children's putty
