Gee Thanks
Since I’ve been
overweight
I’m always
surprised
by the people
who tell you
that you need
to diet and exercise,
as if you’ve
never heard it
or even thought
of it before.
That you haven’t
tried 20-30 diets
and haven’t put
yourself through contortions
or walked several
miles and back daily.
They seem to
think
that now they’ve
enlightened you,
you will get
your act together,
do all the
right exercises,
eat all the
right food
and hey presto
you’ll soon be thin
and beautiful like
they are.
Do they expect
me to say?
“Gee, I never
thought of that.
Thank you so
much!
I’ll start today.
I’ll be
eternally grateful for your advice!”
Or should I
say,
Why don’t you
mind your business
and work on
your own flaws,
like your insensitivity?
