Girth and Worry…don’t please feel sorry  

I see many people

worry writ large

on their face…

about my girth

I, of course show a little

worry about all their worries

but………have no problems.

I have accepted my

new found look……

lean, mean, trim

spic & span……….

all “may” I twist into can…

for I know I haven’t acquired it

since my birth…………….   

I never had any dearth

of things mouthable…..

I am thankful still

for my body chemistry

what biologists refer to

Metabolism…………..

has more catabolism…

than anabolism…..

is grossly unable to

accumulate fat…..

my poetic gesticulation…

I know……………..

would all lovers

of physical mass

and long-laboured…..

gathered oil.

Without much toil

such word-jitters

that would make

them pass all bucks…

to others and..…

I would be left to

critically examine……

my mental class.
