THE TWENTY-THIRD POUND<\/b><\/p>\n
My appetite is my shepherd. I Always Want. It maketh me to sit down and stuff myself. It leadeth me to my refrigerator repeatedly. It leadeth me in the path of Burger King for a Whopper. It destroyeth my shape.<\/p>\n
Yea, though I knoweth I Gaineth, I will not Stop Eating, For the Food Tasteth so Good. The Ice Cream and Cookies, they comfort me. When the table is spread for me, It Exciteth me, For I knoweth that soon I shall dig in! As I filleth my plate continuously, My clothes runneth smaller.<\/p>\n
Surely bulges and excess weight shall Follow me all the days of my life, And I will be FAT FOREVER.<\/p>\n
