Fat thin and in-between

Come in said Mr. Fat
By Gum you’re looking lean
I’ve just put the kettle on
For something in between
Don’t mind if I do say’s Thin
Its ages since I ate
I have such an appetite
Some chocolate would be great
Said Mr. Fat I’ve none of that
Not something that I store
I have been told it makes you fat
Don’t use it any more

Oh dear say’s thin
That’s not much fun
Then never mind
I’ll have a bun
A cup of tea says Mr. Fat
No … coffee please says Thin
Made with milk and honey
Then a little sugar in….
You never change shouts Mr. Fat
Why can’t I be like you?
Life’s never fair for fatties
We get hungry too

Lovely!! Enjoyed it very much, something that could be put from any children's to senior poetry booklet. Very light and playful, art of making it look easy, envy that.

Thanks for the smiles! Oh those Thins who can eat whatever without ever putting on a gram!

Enjoyed.
Love,
