Weight
i'm feeling
so high
though
i'm still
five foot
nine
no i'm
not but
wrote it
for the half
rhyme so it
would sound
cool but
i'm really
five foot
eight but
over weight
and soon
going on
a trip that
includes
some
beach
time
but my belly
has reached
a point where
looking down
i no longer
can see
the tips
of my
toes
but i
can
feel
them when
i want to
wiggle
them
but
must
ask the porter
not the beers
i've drunk but
the desk
jockey if
he can
grab some
of my bags
since i
seem
to be
carry
ing
extra
baggage
