Notes About The Poem

The Plump Potato

A plump potato- I don't want to be!
This poster clearly shows an image, grim-
with chubby one on left looking like me-
on right, a perfect french fry, thin and trim!

This poster clearly shows an image, grim-
revealing how I'd be compared to now;
on right, a perfect french fry, thin and trim!
My goal- to let them pare me down- I vow! 

Revealing how I'd be compared to now-
with chubby one on left looking like me;
my goal- to let them pare me down- I vow
a plump potato- I don't want to be!
