Weight

By joyismine

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

WEIGHT If you keep nagging about my weight, Your rapier tongue may seal your fate. All I hear is,"You don't need that, think of the calories, think of the fat." I can't have cake or a slice of pie, without your letting a comment fly. "You have salad," you say to me; while you have a Serloin, or maybe a "T" You really pig out on your steak and your fries; while I eat my salad with tears in my eyes. Sure you can eat and never gain weight, no matter how much, no matter how late; While I eat an ounce and put on a pound; my wrinkles smooth out and my body gets round; But one more comment, my love, and you're done; for my next meal...you're right...it's your tongue.
