Fat Peoples' Poem
by Dennis Domrzalski

Wednesday, December 05, 2007
Rated "G" by the Author.

A poem that ridicules fat people and their eating habits


I am always happy
And in a cheerful mood,
When I look up and see my plate
Filled with lots of food.

I pick my teeth in public,
And I am very rude.
There’s stretch marks on my elbows
‘Cause I eat lots of food.

My friends are laughing at me;
They’re calling me a fool;
They say I’ll have a heart attack
If I keep eating food.

They scorn and ridicule me,
But I ain’t gonna brood;
‘Cause they don’t seem to understand
That I’m in love with food!

I eat food when I’m sleeping,
And when I’m wide awake--
Even when I’m on the pot
I’ve got to have my steak.

Mashed potatoes and gravy,
Salad and things to chew,
Soup and bread and beans and fruit
And cheese that stinks--pee-you.

Mostaciolli, pizza pie,
Tuna fish and pickles,
When that food goes down my throat
It just slides and tickles.

Cornish hens and hot beef stew,
A smelly seafood plate,
Liver sausage sandwiches--
There ain’t a food I hate!

My stomach hurts. I’ve got the cramps.
I need some food right now.
Although I ate an hour ago
I still need lots more chow.

Good man, kind sir,
Dear lady dressed in blue,
Have some pity on my soul
And pass that tray of food.

Pass it if it’s hot or cold,
Even if it’s stale.
Even though my belly’s full
I could eat a whale.

Pass it if it’s cooked or raw,
I don’t give a damn.
Food is food is what I say,
Let’s have that case of Spam.

Polish sausage, Quiche Lorraine,
Chicken Cacciatore,
If you don’t give me lots more food,
Things may get kind of gory.

Apple pies and chocolate malts,
Some pudding and whipped cream.
Gimme me lots more food to eat
Or I’ll turn very mean.

I’ll sit on youse, you silly fools
So don’t push me too hard.
If you don’t want to suffocate
You’ll pass that tub of lard.

Now pass those plates and pass them now--
Don’t bother saying grace.
Just keep that food a comin’ in
And watch me stuff my face.

Chomp, chomp, chomp; chew, chew, chew—
To eat is so much fun.
If I keep going on this way
I’ll weigh at least a ton.

I’ll sit on chairs and break them all.
I’ll cave in great big floors.
I’ll break down lots of walls my friends;
I won’t fit through the doors.

Some will laugh, but I don’t care;
I don’t give a damn.
While they’re telling stupid jokes
I’ll be eating ham.

Skinny people laugh at me;
They think it’s really funny
That all I do is eat all day
And have a big fat tummy.

They say that I should exercise,
That I should jog and run.
They think because they’re thin and lean
That they’re the handsome ones.

They say that if I exercise
That I’ll lose lots of weight,
And that will make it easier
To find a sexy mate.

What they don’t seem to understand
Is that don’t interest me.
I just want food and lots of it,
It’s this that they don’t see.

Slobber, slobber, slobber,
Jesus ain’t it fun,
To stuff your mouth with food all day
And be a big fat bum.

It’s so much fun to eat all day,
To eat and eat and eat.
How thrilled I am when I look down
And I can’t see my feet.

See, I don’t care, I don’t care--
Who gives a damn right now.
I don’t want health. I don’t want looks--
I just want lots more chow.

So youse can do your exercise--
That ain’t stuff for me.
I’ll just sit at home all day
And eat and watch TV.

Go jog you fools, you skinny things,
Go out and jog and run.
‘Cause I’ll be eating food all day,
To me that’s lots more fun.

And have your sex you skinny twigs,
I ain’t gonna brood.
While you’re scuzzing up the sheets
I’ll be eating food.

I think I’ve said enough by now.
Goodbye you skinny dude.
Chomp, chomp, chomp; chew, chew, chew;
I’m in love with food!

I find it a shame that people are taking an insult to them when it is clearly meant to be put up for a bit of laughter and i can say that it successfully made me and my friend giggle so thankyou i dont take any offence to it and i think that the people that do obviously need to not read it as being personal and lighten up a bit :-)

Your rhyming is exceptional. Well done. The subject would be amusing if it were not for the fact that more than %50 of the population is overweight. I don't think anyone likes being heavy. Fast food and inactivity are the issues, not gluttony. But, on the upside it is the thin people who are more apt to get Alzheimers and cancer than those who are large. Toxins are stored in the fat we carry around. I use to be very thin for years, about 100 lbs. and was often ill. I'm much happier now that I have a more Rubenesque figure and much healthier as well.

Okay Dennis I just came across this poem. It seems to irritate some. However after reading you before and enjoying, I know you meant no disrespect. I think those who complained are feeling guilty about themselves! The rhyming of the poem was exceptional. And I thought it was funny. I am not a skinny person either. Great Write, Dennis.

GOD BLESS

If you were looking for reaction, you certainly got it. I appreciate humor, but this is trite and far too long.

No advice is wanted or needed here in my opinion.
The poet/writers style is ..Everything! and should remain untouched...Well done.

Ok being on the "fluffy" side all my life; and it is due to medical issues not overeating, I take this piece and think of it in two ways

1.It is intended solely to be a poem of humor, nothing more nor less
or
2. It is a sadly gross lacking plethora of humane decorum that is in need of being used for nothing more than to wipe one's soiled orifice after they have finished some rather messy excreting business!

I truly hope that it is the first of my two conclusions/opinions for if it is not my advice to you is unless you walk even an inch in another's shoes you have no right to poke fun and through prejudice denigrating remarks their way.

very distasteful display of prejudice against a a desease which affects EVERY AMREICAN FAMILY!!! there's nothing poetic here, or humorous, about the ignorance of this desease! No one prefers to be fat, to have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, no one purposely puts themselves in line for a stroke!! If it was just self- ridicule, I wouldn't have commented, but it's dedicated to "fat people"....
Reviewed by Ed Matlack 3/19/2009
The only redeeming factor I can find in this is that it is SELF-RIDICULE & you do quite well telling it like it is regards your over-eating problem...still in all, even as its done in a humorous way I still find it to be rather insulting for the percentage of the population that is overweight...I hope you can get over your over-indulgent eating problems...luck, Ed

I just can't believe that anyone can eat
as much as you did––and stay on your feet.

I've had this attitude for much of my life precisely as you describe until I saw the other side of the coin. I was not alive.

I was insulted when I read this. There's nothing funny about being overweight. NOTHING. Society focuses too much on being thin or fit; some people canNOT lose the weight, no matter HOW hard they try! Now, I am not any skinny minnie by any stretch of the imagination, but I do get my exercise when I'm out (walk everywhere; have to, have no choice, have no car!), so it's not like I'm sitting around, eating and feeling sorry for myself. Yet what can I do? I can't work; am disabled, which limits me even more.

Yes, some people do overindulge, but again: there is no laughing matter to being "fat". It's no wonder people feel bad about themselves when they see these (God-awful) "gorgeous" stick-thin people every day on the boob tube, people being pushed on them day in and day out. The exercise commercials are just as bad. NOT everyone can exercise because of health reasons!

You may think you were being funny here, but I didn't find it very amusing, especially since I am one of "The Fat People".

Think about it.

Karen in Texas. :(

I don't want to pile on. I'm sure you meant humor. I go to the gym 4 mornings a week and watch carefully the food I eat. It pains me to see people who eat circles around me and never gain an ounce.

Obesity is not a laughing matter. I wrote a poem earlier about society's pressure on all (especially women) to conform to the perfect ideal, at risk to health and life. People are dying to be thin. The poem is "Dead is Dead."

I'm overweight, exactly 200 pounds. (Weighed today at doctor's). My cholesteral is within normal limits; my blood pressure was 98/62.

I do not sit around eating all day. Once a day, one meal. Yes, I'd love to eat healthy, but living on less than $230.00 a month keeps me from affording fruit and veggies. I have to buy the cheap stuff (pasta, bread, stuff that will stick with me). I DO NOT EAT SWEETS.

I exercise. Having no car ensures that. Must walk everywhere I need to go.

Until you've been where I am, you've no right to make fun. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the poem because I am too mad. Sad that too many feel this way.

Karla.
