Why am I so fat; <br />Do you really want to know? <br />Do you have the time to listen? <br />Ok, here I go. <br /> <br />These thighs right here, <br />They’re from all the chocolate cake, my dear. <br /> <br />This big booty you see; <br />Is from all of the ice cream <br />That was soooo good to me. <br /> <br />This big belly you see; <br />It came from you not lovin’ me. <br /> <br />My feet are even bigger, <br />Fat don’t discriminate. <br />They’re fat from eating bags of chips, <br />The nights I needed a date. <br /> <br />These hips, oh these hips of mine, <br />Some men think big hips are fine. <br />They came from eating when I wasn’t even hungry; <br />Just wanted some of your time. <br /> <br />Are you still listening? It’s not the end; <br />These love handles, <br />Pizza’s my friend. <br />When I can’t talk to you, <br />My mouth needs something else to do. <br /> <br />Now, let’s weigh it out, see who’s to blame. <br />The blame seems to fall the same. <br /> <br />That’s why I’m fat; <br />Thanks to me, and you. <br />But fat girls need lovin’ too. <br /> <br /> Copyright © 2009 by-Phyllis Strong<br /><br />Phyllis Strong<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-i-m-fat/
