Looking Overweight
The nurse looked up and kindly said,
'After months of watching what you ate
I'm glad
to see you're overweight.
For you were obese before.'
But then I really had to ask,
'Does my bum look big in this?'
For the answer it used
to bring
was, 'Yes, it's big in anything.'
Overweight received an Honorable Mention (as Looking Overweight) in the 'When I got Dressed Competition' and was accepted for publication online in Sol Magazine, Feb 2004.
