So What, I’m Fat

I get fat, complacent

I sit on my fat ass

Watched my cats

And some good TV

Sat till I was nutty as a bat out of hell

When one’s in pain – can yell

Or pretend to feel well - do what I did to quell

Sat there, had a chat, ate a latke

Behaved very eclat and got very fat

Embarrassed now to show my fat self

I put myself on the shelf

Being fat is like being accepted to a fraternity

You never asked to belong to

Fatism is allowed, society is

OK to be prejudiced against fatties

I take off my hat to skinnies

Everyone avoids fat people

Like being attacked by plague of gnats

So many pounds, lost and found

Promise to turn over a new leaf

Then I stray from after weigh in

It’s the bane of my existence

Not recognized as true disease

I relay my sorrow, no headway

Not as well known as ADD

I convey my apologies

Think it’s the result of foul play

Each Passover I pray

Over and over again

If only I lose 10 pounds

I’ll be rolling in clover
