SHE SAT AT THE MEETING ONE NIGHT
HER TUMMY JUST DIDN’T FEEL RIGHT
WONDERED WHEN THE MEETING WOULD BE ENDING
AS SHE WATCHED HER STOMACH DISTENDING
PLAIN AND SIMPLE, SHE JUST ATE TOO MUCH
ITALIAN, CHINESE, MEXICAN AND SUCH
NEVER AGAIN, WOULD SHE GET THIS BLOATED
SHE WAS SO STUFFED THAT SHE NEARLY FLOATED
INTO THE AIR, MS. LORI DID GO
OH, SO OBVIOUS; NOW EVERYONE WOULD KNOW
SO SHE PRESSED ON HER TUMMY AND TO HER SURPRISE
THE ONLY THING PUFFED OUT WAS HER PRETTY, BROWN EYES
AS SHE MOVED TO THE BACK OF THE ROOM
WITH A QUIET, BUT DEADLY VA, VA, VAAAAAAAAROOOOOOOM
EVERYONE CHEERED, AS SHE DISAPPEARED
THANK HEAVEN SHE STILL HAS HER CAREER !!
