Word count a burden,

McDonald's and Burger King fare
Fuel obesity fair and square
Fast food tastes so good
We eat all we could
Truth be told, we really don't care!...

Its called the, "Air Force One Waddle"
But a U. S. Marine
Claims our POTUS is clean

Those candies hiding in your valise
say your diet long since lost its lease.  
So, chew on those Reeses; 
chomp whatever pleases.  
You've got more that I can love obese....

Withering of life bit by bit,
A skinny man tumbles with hunger,
Poverty , a blue !

Burning off obesity bit by bit,
Treadmill to a man's excess,
Richness , a blue !

Here's some tips I can say,
If I give you advice this way,
If you keep eating like you are today,
You'll never fit through the door!
You're twice the size you were before!
So I'm not doing beer belly porn!...

I think,
therefore I can’t be
anything
that I want to
only hope is 
to scar this
place
with my
tainted, painted
over
self belief
where life
doesn’t
chance
upon my gaze
where
obesity is
security
and
purity is
within, I think...

Oscar chomped chocolate
Oreos and candy
Opera cake and buns
Oxford blue and oysters
Oblivious that his
Obsession with food risks
Obesity for life

Have some more scones with jam and cream,
And a mound of spuds for tea,
Then you'll find your obesity,
With them carbs will be your mortality,
It is your responsibility,
To limit your own gluttony,
There are, indeed, bad calories,
Carboholics eat too much, you see!...

Melancholic happiness
My sadness comes back again until I sense a sense of glee

A Stagnant rollercoaster
My thoughts race until I can't make sense of my inner being

Minuscule obesity
My words get larger until they eat you up

Who can make sense of this manic soul?...

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...

Many attempts made to alienate the biochemist, 
made a scapegoat by transitory in-urbane comments 
about his obesity, which did not flatter one bit.

But his capricious finding of what made malignant cancer cells 
dissipate and gravitate was so perspicuous and far-reaching,
he had been nominated for a Nobel Prize....

Obesity has been growing in the past 20 years
But health officials were shocked by a 1999
Study that revealed that 61% of the population 
 Either overweight or obese
Obesity linked to diabetes
Heart disease
 Hypertension
 Osteoarthritis and cancer
The effects of obesity cost Americans $100 billion per year

Practise self-care,
i hear everywhere,
On the ether somewhere,
But I cast a glance,
Obesity is their chance,
I suggest this, no less,
Low fat jelly is the best,
Have you tried to exercise?
Reduce those thunder thighs,
Being fat is not self-care,
Your lard butt is not debonair,
Life coaching us with a grin,
Yes, double chins are IN!...

Sir Cumference of Camelot
Could eclipse the sun in the sky
With the bulk of his obesity
Though he didn’t know why
His physician warned him that
Left unchecked he would die
But he had a hearty appetite
And that was the reason why
Sir Cumference of Camelot
Could eclipse the sun in the sky
And the immensity of his girth
Was caused, by too much pi...

STAYING ALIVE III

reluctant to sleep
your days going by so fast
obituaries?
many friends have seen their last
oh    god    those mortuaries!

must watch one’s diet
if it tastes good    don’t try it
bland to the taste
sweet things are seldom healthy
 each day you measure your waist

obesity fear
daily on television
“our very worst year”
diet a hard decision
choice    to live a few more years...

My obese dog, Wunder-Mutt, 
was hungry.
I gave "fatty" some sausage pizza.
"Good boy" I jovially said.
"We shall both diet tomorrow."
He wagged his tail, to agree.

Then...Darn it!
I fell and hit my fat head.
Concerned, he licked left-over 
mozzarella off my double chins.
Ah, obesity~the joy that never ends!

State of upside down
In upside down
No morality code
Principally no dignity
No mercy
Only profit making
In all boom
In greedy some is taken-
In taking all
And left
In scarcity
Almost all
Entirely dying
Obesity a killer for some
Definitely for mass of others
Empty bowl
Privileges of upside down state
We all
Die no doubt
But who in selfishness
Of suicidal act
The loser of all...

Greed

By Nathan Hannen

Remember a forgotten thought, Or forget an inspirational idea, And yes, Such is life

Take more than could ever be produced in this greed ridden place, You have the 
equation of normality

People are tools to the workmanship of an appreciation of unrelenting self gain

An obesity of the values we have cannot hurt true, Only greed can repay what we 
have lost

The End....

Oatmeal I shall dine-on
Omelets are fine too
Obesity I shun
Occasion coming up
Orange chiffon dress and
Opal earrings I'd wear
Outlook for a new beau
