Obese
...Now, I am not a huge man

I'm not large by any means

In fact it is surprising

that loudly blush as they pass Mars

Toward earth they fall in streams of dust

share one large, rotund zoo cage,

Which clings to each branch rotund shape

Bird of paradise – thee are not
For you wobble when you walk

From a time gone by
The tale of a greedy butcher
And a pig that could fly

With hair that fell so circular and dark.
Spherical girl -- not rotund or fat-bound,
With curves that flow in wide expanse of arc.

To be more careful in filling my plate
It lasted three days
Then back to old ways

Feeling disappointed by this shell I'm dwelling in.
With my slightly too thick midriff there above my underwear,
I'm more the rotund apple t......
