Belly Up Poem by Stanley Cooper
Belly Up
Too much of desserts and of deli
Most often will cause a big belly
But one shouldn’t be laughed at
Hee-hawed and gaffed at
Just ‘cause his belly’s like jelly
A person shouldn’t be hounded
For having a belly that’s rounded
There may be no solution
For his constitution
That keeps him so very well grounded
Disallowing him sweets and his beers
Would most certainly bring him to tears
Don’t make him forego
That stuff he loves so
Just to end your jeers and your sneers
It would be so terribly cruel
To deny him his fattening fuel
Would it make him a winner
Just ‘cause he’d be thinner
And open to less ridicule?
It’s not intelligently based
To condemn a man for his waist
It just shouldn’t be done
It’s mean and not fun
And is really in very poor taste
Absolutely Stanley, and they are cuddly with it, but not everyone is large because of food intake. some is hormone related, or glandular, some have low metabolism. I've known thin people who have heart attacks. Keep them cuddly, that's what I say, cuddles are more important. I liked the poem 'enormously'! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Love Ernestine XXX
i like this poem. it reminds me of the guy who wrote 'where the side walk ends' its funny and true.

I completely agree here! My husbands a big ol' bear and I wouldn't have it any other way! (his picture is on my bio. page) There's just nothing better that a big teddy bear to hug. :) Sincerely, Mary
