Description: This poem is dedicated to my best friend, Bathilda. We met one day on the treadmill, and ever since we have been dear friends, pushing each other on in our quest to lose weight! She counseled me when I accidentally crushed my new horse due to my weight, and I helped get her through the pain of not being able to fit in her mini cooper. Thank you Bathilda! You have my back, and I've got yours (or should I say BUTT!)
Brothers and Sisters in Obesity -------------------------------------------
Rain was pounding down around me
Like a sobbing child's tears
And looking to the sky above me
Saw the gray, and felt the fear
Pressed I on, towards the place
Where I never desire to go
But, putting on a strong, brave face
Enter the gym I've come to know.
I struggle through my daily workout
To reduce my buttocks size.
I heard a sound, and turned about
To see a girl with smiling eyes.
Somehow, we began to chat
And I invited her over to eat
Over our healthy foods-no fat!
We shared our stories as we sat.
And though we are different
We are joined by butts so wide
This stranger, who I met that day
Is now a friend of mine!
