English, 111 (Journal 4)

Write one page, double-spaced explaining you feel about overweight people in our society. Who is to blame? Do you think America is obsessed with being thin?

There once was a boy named Billy,
He found himself to often be chilly,
Arms were skinny, he looked a bit illy,
So he ate, and he ate, and he ate himself silly.

As Billy grew and grew, his girth often got him in trouble,
His mother was embarrassed, she thought it abominable,
Friends still loved him, for he was ever amicable,
But the doctor warned him, his actions were deplorable.

He ate his way through the h'ordeuvres,
Restaurants wanted his patronage everywhere,
A seven course meal in comparison to him was for amateurs,
Happily consuming, his stomach kept expanding while he was unaware.

He stuffed his mouth with his fists,
Nothing else in the world seemed to exist,
He downed an entire chicken without any assist,
His face turned blue, his eyes bulged as he asphixed.

Poor Billy was too big to save, his life met its aorist.
