FOR THOSE WHO OVERATE.

Please Doctor, I know I'm too stout.

I'm surprised that I haven't got gout.

I'm feeling as big as an overstuffed pig

And too much is now hanging out.

Now Doctor, I'll tell you no lies.

I've cut out all ice cream and pies.

Now when I dine, I just have some wine:

With steak, baked potato and fries.

To a diet I've finally come round.

And I see that I've lost half a pound.

At least it's a start but only a part

Of the thirty I recently found.

So Doctor, since you are so wise,

Tell me how can I bring down my size.

Please help me get thin cause the chair I sit in

Gets up with me now when I rise.
