Why Can't We Be Thin?

I’ve been round for a long, long time.
Eating too much too often was my crime.

Why can't we be thin?

Unless you’ve been there, you wouldn’t understand,
The thrill of chasing after Onederland.

Why can't we be thin?

I bring my lunch to my office every day.
You wanna grab a burger, but I say “No way.”

Why can't we be thin?

Why can't we be thin?

Eat small portions of good stuff -n- stop,
And you won’t wind up a muffin-top.

I'd kinda like to be the Anti-Jared.
Double workouts while I’m eating a carrot.

Sometimes my blog is pretty ridiculous,
But my diet and workouts are meticulous.

It’s okay to go out to a restaurant,
As long as you don’t order what you want.

  8. Your diverse taste in music is something Jack. I'd like to request some more country...and maybe a polka.

  9. Oh my goodness, what do they call that when a song gets stuck in your head? And earworm? Is that it? Because that's what this is. All day long, nothing else but this song.

  11. "It’s okay to go out to a restaurant,
    As long as you don’t order what you want."

    I laughed at that because it's so true!

  13. I just found your blog. I loved this line
    "Eat small portions of good stuff -n- stop,
    And you won’t wind up a muffin-top."
    I had to laugh at that...funny, but true!

    Can't wait to read your older posts!
