Getting Fat Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Bring me back something from the store.
Here's my list,
It tells you what I need.

Bring this back from the corner store...
Just what's on it,
Nothing more!

You've got me,
Wanting to lay and snack!
You've got me,
Smacking snacks on my back!
You've got me,
Thinking I'm getting fat.
You've got me,
Thinking I'm getting fat.

You've got me,
Wanting to lay and snack!
You've got me,
Smacking snacks on my back!
You've got me,
Thinking I'm getting fat.
You've got me,
Thinking I'm getting fat.

Bring me back something from the store.
Here's my list,
It tells you what I need.
You've got me,
Wanting to lay and snack!

Bring this back from the corner store...
Just what's on it,
Nothing more!
You've got me,
Smacking snacks on my back!
You've got me,
Thinking I'm getting fat.
You've got me,
Thinking I'm getting fat.

Bring me back something from the store.
Here's my list,
It tells you what I need.

Bring this back from the corner store...
Just what's on it,
Nothing more!

I think I've had enough snacks on my back.
'Cause you make hints I'm getting fat!
You've got me,
Thinking I'm getting fat.
You've got me,
Thinking I'm getting fat.
