I like my doughnuts raised and glazed
coffee black and sweet
my fish a salt and battered
but you're my favourite treat
Indian is hot and spicy
Chinese it gets old
Italian can be fat and greasy
salad leaves me cold
I like my dumplings round and plump
vegetables stir-fried
prefer my fruit firm and fresh
but you're the best I've tried
man cannot live on bread alone
or so I was taught
you're my soul food make me whole food
you're my food for thought
I like my chicken finger-licking good
martini stirred not shaken
my medicine with sugar
but you're the best I've taken
there's no confusion I've come to the conclusion
if nothing else you are delicious
and at the risk of sounding repetitious
I've decided you're decidedly delicious
The fat rich man dances,
his body so heavy not light
breaking the rhythm.
Beautiful music set loud,
thumps through the hall -
bass pounds heavy.
Voices rise in praise,
cheering his moves.
Plump black velvet plush
fluttering flip book of flight
reveals concealed blush
Pleasingly Plump
Obese, bloated, overwrought with contrition
Lainey hung a chart of each yoga position
Couldn’t deal with stretching
Mice she’s still fetching
She defies my lectures on nutrition
I have an abundance of flesh; I am plump.
Heavy from eating garbage from the city dump.
Have found great things there, including a stump.
Scared me so badly, I fell on my corpulent rump.
I love eating garbage from the city dump.
there’s lots of fast food which is why I am plump.
Mix the giblets. With the stuffing. Winner Winner. Plump Chicken Dinner.
Three plump old biddy birds full of birdseed and whey
Sat on a limb spreading gossip and rumors that day
I heard she did this and he did that said Mrs. McVey.
They all had a story, about things crazy and gray.
One-upping each other on this nonsensical Tuesday.
Surely you have something better to do cawed a blue jay.
They took out their sling shots and forced him away.
I never should have married that fool said Mrs. McVey
AND THOU, SAYS ANGELIC WITH LIGHT,
ALWAYS KEPT DIVINE PROMISES SIDE .
NOW A THOU ,WALKED ALL ALONE ,
SHE WALL FLOWER ,CAME TO HER HOME .
CLOUDS STARTED SHEDDING THE BLOOD ,
THOU RUINING IN THE FLOOD.
BROKEN PROMISES WERE COOK,
NOTHING WAS IN THE LOOK .
THOU GLEE WITH PLUMP ,
SOME GLOOM WITH PLUMP.
ADORNED WITH LOVE BECAME FUTILE ,
SEDUCTION WON GAME THAT ROAD SIDE.
THOU SNEAKY ,ENTRAP THEE IN TRAP ,
LOST THE DIVINE, IN THE COLLECTING CRAP .
Nurtured you in the past,
Always made me jump in joy,
Always drew me a big smile,
In the dawn of a hopeful sign,
But then,
As I began to count my chicks,
You began to nod down south,
Guarded you with my dear life,
Spawned you with loving words,
Shone you with bright rays of glory,
Spooned you with vitamins in cups,
But,
Your will to live,
Never shout any victory,
Today,
I walk a different stride,
I've dug out your buried secrets,
So I shall not fall in my try,
I'm armed with the right artileries,
So I shall soon hold those plump reds,
Proudly in my palms,
And we shall take a selfie,
Together, cheering my victory,
My dear, dear tomato tree,
A plump potato- I don't want to be!
This poster clearly shows an image, grim-
with chubby one on left looking like me-
on right, a perfect french fry, thin and trim!
This poster clearly shows an image, grim-
revealing how I'd be compared to now;
on right, a perfect french fry, thin and trim!
My goal- to let them pare me down- I vow!
Revealing how I'd be compared to now-
with chubby one on left looking like me;
my goal- to let them pare me down- I vow
a plump potato- I don't want to be!

Picture Prompt: #3
Plump Trump Eating
Plump Trump was eating an apple fritter;
Became upset because he had been bitter,
And pain pure,
We must endure;
Infantile behavior did require a babysitter.
Trump gives out a grunt when we will meet;
Due to poor behavior from people do retreat;
Stupid things said,
Which we read,
He should be run over by car in the street.
Trump Should Take It on Thick Chin
What really will make our skin so thin;
Vote alone party lines that are partisin;
Answer edict,
So very strict;
Trump should take it on his thick chin.
Trump Spastic and Never Nimble
Know Trump is spastic and never nimble;
Lies and trouble have become his symbol,
Among things;
In shower sings,
Always upsetting causing us to tremble.
Dodge Barrage that Became a Mirage
What we did have to do was to dodge,
Trump nonsense coming in big barrage;
And ding a ling,
With us bring;
Made things he thought become mirage.
Trump Run Over in Street
Trump always grumbles when him we meet,
Which is why from him we do have to retreat;
On do hedge;
Jump off ledge,
Or he should be run over with broad in street.

Plump blue
berries home
grown longingly ...
satisfaction stolen -
full birds.

A plump dove sits on
The roof of the bird feeder
Dove and sparrows eat....
The window view brings joy home
So glad there is food for all
Pretty Plump
Kitty is pretty as well as plump
Into our yard someone did dump
Quite a calico cat for sure
All weather had to endure
Even make happy an old grump.
