The third wheel went by “Mclovin”
A wasted girl
Began to hurl
Then the fat boy took off running

His skinny jeans made him look hot
Like he just stepped out of a pot
He was sweaty as hell
As you can perfectly tell
Until his meat started to rot

And woke up incredibly skinny
His wife looked aghast,

And sold your parts for ten guinea!"

matted furball fluff
ears ragged, tail disheveled
shaved to summer 'do

now look so skinny -
slick, girly, all clean and white

Words jumped off the pages
Chased his skinny tail right back home
Too scared to try and open a book again.

It sunk the whole land of Goshen
But those kids on the Ark 
Skinny-dipped in the dark
Noah, of course, had no notion!

Skinny and Pretty

being skinny 
does not mean you are pretty
the same way that making tea
does not mean you are going to church
they have nothing to do with one another.

I once knew a lass from McKinney
She weren’t fat and she weren’t skinny
Somewhere in between
But naught but a teen
So I left her alone I’m no ninny!

Beast and the Beauty

All bony frame and bristly hair,
like a graying werewolf
or a skinny bear
and you... 
so lovely, 
so feminine,
so how in the world
did I make you mine?
