The Boy Who Cracked Fat Jokes

~ Frank Solanki

There was once a little boy
Who thought cracking jokes was a toy
So he cracked jokes on everyone
Especially on fat ones
…
But as he put a pun on it
His tummy grew bit by bit
When he realised it was too late
His tummy went to round from straight
…
All his jokes came back to bite
He started living in a terrible fright
He stopped eating, did some exercise
The tummy showed no compromise
…
He sighed and hoped and prayed and screamed
That this was all just a silly dream
But his tummy felt oh so real
With which he didn’t know how to deal
…
So he asked a mate of his
“How should I even deal with this?”
His mate said, “There is one thing you could do
“Crack jokes on skinny people too”
…
With that he felt even more confused
His friend left him oh so bemused
And still today he is standing there
Lost in thought, filled with despair
