Nutritionists and physicians, Don't be offended please-- Who am I, a lowly layman To contradict your expertise? But you determine ideal weight By consulting a standard chart, Which, in my humble opinion, Is the opposite of smart. I've studied the chart for males Of my age and of my height, And I can only make the weight, If I never eat another bite. To starve myself down to the weight Your chart says is right for me Means no more Sundays on the beach For fear I'd be blown out to sea. Would I become so thin and light I'd be sucked into an exhaust vent? Don't you think that if that happens Someone might wonder where I went? But keep your chart and use it. Just label it "Ideal Weights For ascetics, fashion models And concentration camp inmates." |

Weight a minute, the doc said, Please! When weighing in, get off your knees. You're much too short for what you weigh! Just read the chart published today! But doc, that chart says I am lard! And I am not! I work too hard! I'm muscle mass, not flabby fat. Your chart just makes me look like that! (Funny poem... gave me a good laugh and inspired me to write a couple verses of my own.... thanks for the inspiration! LOL) -dp  |
