the bulge

DSC09039
With belly like a poisoned pup
Said I: 'I must give bacon up'
And also, I profanely fear,
I must abandon bread and beer
DSC09046
That make for portliness they say;
Yet of them copiously today
I ate with an increasing sense
Of grievous corpulence.

DSC09041
I like a lot of things I like.
Too bad that I must go on strike
Against pork sausages and mash,
Spaghetti and fried corn-beef hash.

DSC09042
I deem he is a lucky soul
Who has no need of girth control;
For in the old of age: 'Il faut
Souffrir pour etre belle.'

DSC09044
Yet let me not be unconsoled:
So many greybeards I behold,
Distinguished in affairs of state,
In culture counted with the Great,

DSC09048
Have tummies with a shameless bulge,
And so I think I'll still indulge
In eats I like without a qualm,
And damn my diaphragm!'

If my bulge the price to pay
To satisfy my cravings everyday
I'll gladly volunteer
To drink all that beer?

:P

Thanks for sharing Mr. Service. Tak pernah dengar pun, but I'm the katak and all that tempurung business.

hey lady, for a brief moment i thought WAHHHHHH, BOW BOW BOW, FALL AT YOUR FEET....

there's nothing wrong with corpulence
it's not as if its flatulence
gimme a full and buxom lass i say
over an anorexic model anyday....

minchow said...

He he, I could use more of this type of pro-hedonism writing - screw the diet, I want my beer! And everything else that goes with it!

myCoffee said...

those killer ribs are stuff worth worshipping,
futile enemies to MY own fight with tummy a-bulging,

My girth is wide, it's already too late
