I preface this by saying that in no way do I see myself as capable of writing any kind of decent poetry. This is purely for entertainment. It just kind of came to me after reading Gilbert's blog on weight. Which is not to say that Gilbert inspires me to write bad poetry.
Actually I see this as more of an old-school rap song, so hum along while you read it.
******************
I can’t relate to the weight debate
My clothes have always been small
I can eat an entire bag of chips
And not gain any weight at all
Other women like to glare at me
With their looks that kill
As it seems the pure sight of me
Makes them all feel ill
I’m just me
That’s all I can be
No need to hate
That I gain no weight
Some say that I have no ass
Some say I have no chest
Did you know that I weigh less
Than the average Hollywood actress?
When DST comes
I walk an hour every day
Maybe that’s what keeps
All the weight at bay?
All I know is
I’m just me
That is all
That I can be
No need to hate
That I gain no weight
I love popcorn
I love ham
Eating a lot of these things
Never changes who I am
Others complain about their size
What if you all were thin?
Sarah Ferguson wouldn’t have a job
And that would be a sin
Size 0 is a real size
What I say is true
That doesn’t mean that you should wish
A size 0 would fit on you
I cannot sing, I cannot act
But I can do some belly dance
I can’t help it if you cringe
When I wear size 0 pants
Because I’m just me
That’s all I can be
No need to hate
That I don’t gain weight
People always ask me
What’s it all about?
You’re so thin
Makes me want to scream and shout
I don’t know
It’s just the way I am
Would you like to join me
For some ham?
Everyone needs to realize
It’s not just about your size
You gotta have personality
You gotta have creativity
In order to be
Who you need to be
To get through life
Without a lot of strife
All I know is
I’m just me
That is all
That I can be
No need to hate
That I gain no weight

I love ham. But not the fake processed ham. I'll eat it but it's nowhere near as tasty as a big ol' ham with the bone still in it from the City Market, cooked with honey, brown sugar and pineapple for added flavour. Ham that actually has texture to it and falls apart like turkey when you try to carve it. mmmmmm.
funny, i also was going to comment on the hammy-ness of your old school rap.
word.
and i guess the word is, as usual, ham.
I'd like to see 50 Cent put ham AND Daylight Savings Time in one of his raps.
Boo hoo Skinny Girl. ~_^
Thanks Brains! :D
