Stuffed

I used to eat 'til I was stuffed
    never knew when I'd had enough
  Some folks called me roly-poly
    others found me gruff

  Now I'm satisfied with just a little
    which does wonders for my middle
  And did I mention my transformation
    from hostile to hospitable

Just don't check into a hospital. That's hospitable enough for me, anyway.

Gershon ,your loss of weight makes me feel blue. Now there won't be so much of you. That makes me very sad But happy for you, you ain't done bad. Congratulations and hurray but will the smell of food lead you astray?

Gershon, you must be chuffed now you’re not carrying so much round the middle, and have gone from gruff to hot stuff… Belle
