So What, I’m Fat

I get fat, complacentI sit on my fat assWatched my catsAnd some good TVSat till I was nutty as a bat out of hellWhen one’s in pain – can yell Or pretend to feel well - do what I did to quellSat there, had a chat, ate a latke Behaved very eclat and got very fatEmbarrassed now to show my fat selfI put myself on the shelfBeing fat is like being accepted to a fraternityYou never asked to belong toFatism is allowed, society isOK to be prejudiced against fattiesI take off my hat to skinniesEveryone avoids fat peopleLike being attacked by plague of gnatsSo many pounds, lost and foundPromise to turn over a new leafThen I stray from after weigh inIt’s the bane of my existenceNot recognized as true diseaseI relay my sorrow, no headway Not as well known as ADDI convey my apologiesThink it’s the result of foul play Each Passover I prayOver and over again If only I lose 10 pounds I’ll be rolling in clover
