Bending Bones

My body is a pussy

I never listen when it complains

I just buy bigger pants

Pop a dozen pills

And try to get out more

My daughter says I'm fat

The scales all agree

I want there to be a reason

Not to blame myself

So I can keep eating out

I want to be in shape

I just love butter so much more

I just muscle up the zipper

Take my omeprazole

And tell myself I'm sexy

My bones are bending

I can feel the weight grow

If I lost the fat

My shriveled skin would hang

An empty bag of flab

I tell myself it's fine

It's not the way I eat

That keeps my waist expanding

And when I get sad

I stuff my face with calories

End.
