GONE TO POT
So many seem to go to pot
(Do I mean drugs? No, I do not!)
Too much of a bad thing comes to mind
Just look around and you'll soon find
The evidence is all around
Ounce for ounce...pound for pound.
Leviathans loom large in life today
Sashaying their substantial way
The visible proof that a junk food diet
Is only OK if you DON'T try it.
A little of what you fancy may be good
But a lot is something that you should
Avoid at all costs to stay healthy,
Wise - and maybe even wealthy!
So, make the LEAST of what you've got
And resist the life that goes to pot!
Don't let your grub lead you a dance
Instead,, be wise and say "Fat chance!"

Thanks SG. i was motivated to write these lines after seeing far
too many - shall we say "generously proportioned" - people pass
in front of my seaside hotel balcony recently. i had some mental
fun imagining them trying to fit on a seat on one of those economy
airline 'planes, let alone the diminutive measurements of my ultra
modern low profile hotel toilet seat. My eyes watered for a number
of reasons!! ?
Thanks also to those who "liked" this piece of weighty whimsy.
