So now I'm left to wonder
Is there something wrong with me

Now, I am not a huge man

I'm not large by any means

In fact it is surprising

I still wear normal jeans

My pants don't have elastics

I still use normal towels

It’s another sordid workplace affair
Organized by the dashing and flamboyant Pierre
There should be a warning to beware
Bad week to start any diet – o what despair
Millions of calories everywhere 
On one side a mountain of chocolate éclair
On the other a huge tray of Camembert
It was...

i was no more than ten
my grandmother
was enjoying herself

I’ll ADORN kitchen walls with shibboleth -
