All Things Big And Fat

There is a famous saying Which you have probably heard “You are what you eat” they say Though it may sound quite absurd Gone are the good old days When people weren’t sticks, but just a little wide And it wasn’t considered unnatural To be a tad on life’s heavier side When it was good to look healthy Not like a fortnight old corpse And folks were energetic and strong And didn’t fall over like props When their skin glowed with health And didn’t look like chewed stale bread And cheeks had a real natural color Which couldn’t be obtained by painting yourself red When their lungs were clean from the pure air they breathed Not the disgusting concoction available today And fruits were eaten in abundance Not served in one square inch miniature trays So when we accuse someone of being old-fashioned Just give this a second’s thought “Those people accepted each other for who they were While here, everybody’s boiling in a pot”.
