the bulge

With belly like a poisoned pup

Said I: 'I must give bacon up'

And also, I profanely fear,

I must abandon bread and beer

That make for portliness they say;

Yet of them copiously today

I ate with an increasing sense

Of grievous corpulence.

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.

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.'

Yet let me not be unconsoled:

So many greybeards I behold,

Distinguished in affairs of state,

In culture counted with the Great,

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!'
