Those endless wishes of
giving the fat a trim
Beauty is now the
monopoly of the slim!
Sinuous and slender
The hourglass figure
The thinner, the better.
Dieting and slimming
down tricks
of course selling like hot
cakes
Tis a pity, she can't eat to
her heart's content and
desire
for rounded figures they
no longer admire.
But as long as
scrumptious samosas
keep frying in pans
and delicious pizzas
keep baking in 'em' ovens
it'd be hard to keep the
damned calorie count
or to live in fear of the
expanding waistline
mount.
Ah those mouth-
watering deep-fried
kebabs
are entirely to blame for
my yo-yo dieting!
Gosh to cut down on
cheese and butter slab
is one tough way to get
rid of body flab.
This war against weight
is weighing upon her
mind
instead of being simply
plump and straight
We gotta maintain teen
contours and curves we
find!
You do know this is a
war you've got to be
winning.
It's those extra pounds
and not the war you
have to be losing.
Or the other skinny
lasses will be smirking,
grinning.
Ah but all young ladies
must as well beware
Dragoness Anorexia's
engulfing lair
or how her crony Bulimia
too can ensnare!
So pals better be about ill-
health more cautious
rather than being overly
so weight-conscious. :)
you can be loved despite your chubby weight
I've seen many curvy plus size women
who are admired and adored by their soulmate

beauty can come in all shapes & sizes. this is a great poem. i'm sure anyone, especially a female, could take something from it.
Well summed up and added to my poem, your fine comment! Warm thanks and take care!
I completely agree I try my best to give my friends this message next time I'll just show them this instead
Good, warm thanks for the comment supporting the message.
The war rages on, with beauty as the lure, and social acceptance as the weapon. If we all could just be ourselves and not try to be someone else's image of beauty. Far better to be beautiful on the inside than outside. Skinny or plump, tall or short, bald or long-haired, etc., those who measure by such things are the problem of this world.
Your poem struck a chord with me. I enjoyed it immensely. A very nice write, very thought provoking. _ Phil A.
Thanks so much for such an interesting great comment. Actually in many eastern races curvy and rounded women are admired as more beautiful than the skinny. Africans take it even further and like only plump women. One African girl got real mad at me and wanted to beat me up coz I said she was thin and slim!!
Really a woman's worth should come by her brains in all races and her gentle heart, it really saddens me to watch anorexic bulimic girls from other races.
Beauty should always be seen within the eyes of the person, external looks are quite meaningless if the person inside is not beautiful, everyone is beautiful.
You are so right great poet! Thanks ever soo much for the comment. Now I\'m off to read from u too.
