Best Obesity Poems

(Sing to the tune "American Pie.)

I long, long time ago, I can still remember when,
Junk food made me smile,
And I knew if I had a chance,
That I could make my fatness dance,
And maybe I was happy for a while,

But McDonald's made me shiver,
With every burger...

say your diet long since lost its lease.  
So, chew on those Reeses; 
chomp whatever pleases.  
You've got more that I can love obese....

Mom would say to sit and eat veggie and fruits while going out   
Dad would say talk not at all with the mouth full-daily tortures 
The child hood excessive fatness was not part of daily cant.       ...

Obesity! Obesity!
I wonder how you came to be,
You now have control over me,
a healthy life I can not see.

A little added here and there,
and now the people seem to stare.
This weight my bones can barely bear,
I’ll change my ways, but do I dare?

Less sugar, less...

In this day of widespread obesity
THE TALE OF TOM

no!
but why?
he was kind
and so thoughtful
didn’t strut around
like so many I know
all the little ones loved him
i must say    though    he was so fat
he should have watched himself at mealtimes
just see...

His more than ample physique,
was a profuse plethora of abundance,
a surfeit of shameless gastronome
that defined a cornucopia of excess
and a masticating overindulgence.

Such a pity to gormandize,
to binge, gorge, and satiate.
to devour in such excess, 
in such morbid over indulgence,
in such heinous and nefarious gluttony.

His self-inflicted...

Potbelly was the pride of the wealthy,
the fatter they looked, the richer they were presumed;
now days the rich have found the source of energy...
by staying in shape and looking haggard.

and when it comes to eating habits,...

By Harry who was obese but with very thin legs, 
Which to me looked too slim for his eating times, 
For the size of his rounded stomach of kegs. 

Sometimes I gave myself an ego trip on him,...

Word count a burden,
  lines adding weight

Meaning gets crushed,

All around us
It’s an epidemic
Man-induced plague

It’s a conspiracy
To hook people
To non food foods
Eats that should be
Technically inedible

Anything to grease the wheel
Of factories and consumerism
Nothing grown naturally
Nothing from a farm
Heavens no

Promoting foods whipped up
From powders and chemicals
None of those
Vegetables or fruits
Or other live stuff

Let the population...

McDonald's and Burger King fare
Fuel obesity fair and square
Fast food tastes so good
We eat all we could
Truth be told, we really don't care!...

There was a young man who was obese.
He ate too much and now he's deceased.
He went to his favorite restaurants and ate a lot of food every day.
He died at the age of thirty and it's not surprising that he passed away.
His family told him...

Bleeding through the most perplexing pain
No sure what the reward is to be gained
From suffering, though some do believe
[Yet they cannot adequately explain],
And I have often wondered about such
Without having myself suffered that much.

“No pain, … no gain” is that crafty cliché
Designed to enhance a...
