Way Too Fat

Way Too Fat

He gained twenty pounds every year
Before it was all said and done
He tried to lose what he had found for fear
That he would soon weigh an even ton

Up and down, and down and up
It seemed his plate was never full
While he drank from an empty cup
When the push would come to pulll

Then he finallly died at ninety five
Everyone said they would surely pay him their respect
Just living to eat or just eating to live
Satisfied that, at his end, the cause was the effect

    When i read between the lines of this poem, i really got it's message. What is life without pleasure? Giving up on the food we love, only bring sadness in our lives, why should we give up, when we could eat the same thing but in a small amount. In today society in first class countries, food became for some of us, our biggest enemy. We starve to fit society. It tells us that look how pleasurable food is to the eyes, yet avoid it to be accepted. Then again it blame over weight people, saying they eat too much. The world has change so much. Human brain is like a computer, it can be programmed to believe what ever without any thinking. Very good message, very brilliant write, kel.

    95 is a ripe old age to die from over-eating :)
    It's like fat bast**d said in Austin Powers - I eat because I'm unhappy and I'm unhappy because I eat.

    Nice poem, Michael. It put a cheeky smile on my face.
