Obesity is not for me Todays Idiocy

poem

 

Obesity is not for me.

 

I must confess that I grow less

 now that I’ve given up fast food.

I did not do it to impress

I had to prove to me I could.

 

I was in fact a complete mess.

 My appetite out of control.

Macdonalds ruled my life I guess

fast food became my only goal.

 

Until one day I chanced to see,

reflected in a window pane.

 A big fat slob and it was me.

This made me resolve to abstain.

 

Although MacDonalds tempted me.

I only had myself to blame.

 I had surrendered easily.

But now I understood their game.

 

As I grew fat so they grew rich.

They did not give a fig for me

So I decided I would switch

and start to eat more healthily.

 

Now I am slim and loving it

I am the weight I ought to be

 Still tempted sometimes I admit.

But I walk past triumphantly.

Good one Ivor! MacDonald's and all the fast food places should be
run out of town! LOL But then again nobody twists our arms to go in.

It just seems so obscene when there are people starving all over the
world, we are obsessed with our waistlines that have blown up beyond
all reason, all because of our "obsession" with food.

Great write!
