Thread: Bummer of 41 (cute)

This is great to give someone on their 41st birthday, chuckle.

Bummer of 41.

One day when I was forty-one
I ate an extra sticky bun,
And in that moment it did seem
I went from thin to broad-in-beam.

Like that, my hard abdomen branched.
My tight pectorals avalanched.
One instant and I turned from svelte
To double-wide Expando Belt.

A life of easy slimness done
For just one useless sticky bun.
The rest you know, the diet maze,
The carrot snacks, the yogurt phase.

Don't talk to me of behavior mod
Or exercise or back to God.
The naked truth is, I got fat.
The morning mirror tells me that.

The zippers sprung in all my flies,
My stupid feet went up a size.
My cheeks have put on so much beef,
I use a bigger handkerchief.

And just in case a doubt still lingers
The space is less between my fingers.
So listen well, you thirty-nines
And forties with your proud
waistlines,
One day when you are forty-one
Beware the extra sticky bun!

Like my daughter says "I can just smell it and I jiggle for a week"! (and she's 13!)
