In This Day of Widespread Obesity - the Tale of Tom

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 how he overlaps the platter
