Three Cheers for Fat

   Stooped shoulders, shuffling gait
     Bulging belly, too much weight

   Double-chin, arms of flab
     Dissect me in the science lab  

   Nuh-uh, no way... No shame allowed today
    Three cheers for fat: Butt, Hips ~ Display!

Fat’s okay… but not wrapped up in a shell suit. Okay? ;-)

For the ladies, you forgot the boobs, but nowadays, that's a trend to defend.

Hi Gershon, between a tendency to be heavy set from my mother's side of the family, and my fondness for sweets, I know exactly where you're coming from. Glory days of athleticism behind me, hello arthritis. You've penned very well here, as usual. A blessed evening to you and your's. :)))))

Well hello there, Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Osteopenia, Osteoporosis, rheumatism, cellulitis, and all that good stuff! Ain't aging gracefully just grand?!!!
