Fatso long.
From bigger that a Macy's inflatable animal to a productive and well rounded man
A really big success story in reverse
Fatso long!
He went to
Overeaters Anonymous
but the door was to small
for him to get through,
the members inside
tried to comfort him
and assauge his
embarrassment,
but there was a
Krispy cremey donut shop,
just three doors down,
so he had three dozen glazed,
and a half a gallon of coffee,
then waddled home. He got so big he
couldn't work anymore,
he ran out of breath too much,
and had to sit down
at strange times,
which required
stronger chairs
than most busineses carry,
after breaking six chairs
at his last job
he was let go
and soon enough
he couldn't make
the rent on his
first floor walkup
and wound up evicted. After seven months
on the street
full of dumpster diving,
and begging handouts,
he was reduced to
a mere 167 pounds,
being rather handsome
beneath all that blubber
he was offered a job
by a photographer
and wound up modeling
slim lines clothing.
sumptiously paid
and living in a penthouse,
he controlled his
urges to pig out.
last I heard he was
the Grand Marshall
of the Macy's day parade,
and all the things
that were humongous,
wideloads, and overblown
spectacles to all,
were left floating
far behind him.
