A Fat Poem


Fat is
as fat is
as fat is

Fat does
as fat thinks

Fat feels
as fat please

Fat believes

                  Fat is to butter
                  as milk is to cream
                  fat is to sugar
                  as pud is to steam

Fat is a dream
in times of lean

                  fat is a darling
                  a dumpling
                  a squeeze
                  fat is cuddles
                  up a baby's sleeve

                  and fat speaks for itself
