From Invitation

If my fat
Was too much for me
I would have told you
I would have lost a stone or two.

I would have gone jogging
Even when it was fogging
I would have weighed in
Sitting the bathroom scale.

I would have dieted
But as it is, I am feeling fine.
Feel no need to change my lines
When I move, I’m target light
Come up and see me sometime.
