The words today are weight
Everywhere you look
Lose ten pounds is the key
And found in every book.
I used to think I looked alright
Until I heard the news
That I am unhealthy and oh so fat
And now I have the blues.
Our forefathers ate from the ground
And we eat from a box or can
The chemicals we do put within
Should automatically all be banned.
I want to be happy with who I am
I will never be very thin
So turn my mind to home cooked meals
And empty out the cookie tin.
It if grew in the ground it is alright
If it came from production, get it out of sight
Replace the sweets with natural sugars
And never, ever eat through the night.
I don’t have to be a walking stick
To feel like I fit in
I just want my inner parts
To be happy inside my skin.
Terry Shepherd
