Alcohol kills – should be forbidden
along with PCP in brownies hidden
‘Overweight’s the scourge of heart attacks
Let’s stop fatsos from eating – no meals or snacks
Vehicles automotive kill thousands every year
Ban ‘em from the road – I’m completely sincere
No driving, no eating, no drinking – but no death
Excuse me for living ~ Can I still take a breath
As we get older I’ve noticed fat kids get thin
become vain selfie taking as they hit the gym
as did we way back in our teens all those years ago
they've caught up with us slowly but then were fatsos.
Being overweight puts you 10 years behind
the cost of having depth so wide
til recently your fatness still reached 2009
when exercise and sport had been my whole life
and you were accused of eating all the pies.
Please realise these days you appear stupid
you haven’t learnt cus no one noticed the fat kid
thus never taught you don’t behave like a Dick
you may be healthy but you act like a Rick.
Being healthy doing exercise
is different to eating all the pies
when we were in to it like you guys
we weren’t vanity driven S T I’s.
We played sport won the prize
now we haven't thunder thighs
and we're not eating all in sight
I don't mean to be sly,
but you're 15 years behind.
We were actually athletes,
you're the fungus on our foot,
we used it too compete,
you just do it for the look...
I'd rather be me than a former fat fook
When People of Size Take to the Skies
By Elton Camp
When the extremely obese get onboard a plane
About their comfort and “rights” they complain
They forget that one ticket means only one seat
And with their seatmate for space can’t compete
Because the passenger who about normally trim
Shouldn’t have blobs of blubber pressed on him
Realize that man has paid for the use of a full seat
To have half taken by a tub of lard is sure no treat
Southwest Airlines has courage to do what’s needed
Requires fatsos to buy an extra seat if space exceeded
The rule is if the armrest between seats can’t be lowered
The “person of size” pays for two seats to get on board
Passengers who are of such enormous, abnormal girth
More trouble to the airlines than their business is worth
