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.

Great rhyming and wordplay, M.C. Put me right off my cheeseburger.
