Steps on scales - gasps and wails!

Global proportions, and no contortions

Can make me slim and svelte again.

Beach ball as opposed to beach body

Let's face it - its got pretty shoddy.

Just slightly overweight at the moment.

I scour the media and the encyclopedia

For the latest diaphanous diet.

The best I could find just said:

'Don't fry it'.

Let's face it - I didn't buy it.

Just slightly overweight at the moment.

Eating fruits and plotting jogging routes

In sat-nav style

Didn't part me from my accumulated pile

Let's face it

It's been like that for a while.

Just slightly overweight at the moment.
