What Size

In my teens nothing bothered me, Size 10 I could eat what I wanted, My weight wasn’t something I worried about, In my twenties and in my prime, Size ten to twelve I watched what I ate, Aerobics and weightlifting became my thing, To keep my flat tum and tight bum, In my thirties and two kids later now a twelve to fourteen, My tum was bigger flabbier but not my bum, I was always on one diet or another. In my forties and now a size sixteen, I have a big big tummy and slightly saggy bum, Do I diet or exercise no not a lot, Now in my fifties and a size !!!!!!!! eighteen, I totally given up on the dieting, With an underactive thyroid I dont see the point, Now with a slight double chin and bingo wings, Tum hanging low but bums ok it looks good in jeans I've not mentioned two things they flew south years ago.
