'm gonna be like so fat

for all my ever lovin' life

so much so

in fact

why from me

they could cut it with a knife

and it would have to be

a great big sharp one

no doubt

only then could I become model

thin

but with my outside turned nearly

outward in

Lord only knows with what would

be left

I would have to be tucked up

with a scalpel, needle and doctor's

thread and pin

now, I can clearly understand

why the mass media so often reports that

'Thin Is Definitely In!'

because they man it

literally!

that's why!.........................
