deja vu its just happened again

horrid dimpled orange peel blight

hammer and tongs from the back

unaware of her rump of cellulite

sedentary jobs they're behind it

losing my grip in stark moonlight

pulled away with undiluted relief

shuddering at the feel of cellulite

shame is, her front is pure bliss,

but how can I explain my plight?

at right angles to beauty,

geometry's not my friend,

Some like a hearty breakfast, others just a roll

You need fuel in your furnace to face life's rigours

Yet some agonise over their self-image

Cottage cheese and a slice of Ryvita

Leaves you reeling all over the place

You staggered and all but fain...
