Now, I know what they mean, about
getting the middle aged spread! I
certainly, wasn't looking forward to
it, for it filled me, full of dread! I've
known many people, who have gone
through this before. Well, here goes...
add another one, to your score! If
for some reason, it was meant to be.
Then perhaps, someone can explain
it, to a slightly, chunky me! It seems
like only yesterday, I was slim and
feeling great! I wonder, will the time
ever come, I can go back, to wear a
size eight? It just seems to creep up
on you, when you're not looking. It's
got to be what I eat, with all of that
fancy cooking! I guess I'm acting
kind of foolish, there's worse things
one can face. No use in complaining.
My body, someday, will surely, go
back, into place!
