"Obesity" by Robert Service<BR>
<BR>
With belly like a poisoned pup<BR> Said I: 'I must give bacon up:<BR>And also, I profanely fear,<BR> I must abandon bread and beer<BR>That make for portliness they say;<BR> Yet of them copiously today<BR>I ate with an increasingly sense<BR> Of grievous corpulence.<BR><BR>I like a lot of thinks I like.<BR> Too bad that I must go on strike<BR>Against pork sausages and mash,<BR> Spaghetti and fried corn-beef hash.<BR>I deem he is a lucky soul<BR> Who has no need of girth control;<BR>For in the old of age: '<EM>Il faut<BR> Souffrir pour etre bean</EM>.'<BR><BR>Yet let me not be unconsoled:<BR> So many greybeards I behold,<BR>Distinguished in affairs of state,<BR> In culture counted with the Great,<BR>Have tummies with a shameless bulge,<BR> And so I think I'll still indulge<BR>In eats I like without a qualm,<BR> And damn my diaphragm!'<BR>
