A Lotta Lotta
by Charles E MinshallI eat a lot, I eat a lot,
I eat a lot I do,
I weigh a lot, I weigh a lot,
I weigh a lot too.
I hate a lot, I hate a lot,
I hate a lotta weight,
Gotta lose a lotta, lose a lotta,
Lose a lot I hate.

| Posted by Paganini Jones on 05/26/05 at 06:51 PM Mmm... that last line is rather profound I think. It doesn't actually say what one tends to expect. An incredibly neat twist. THIS goes on my favourites immediately. |
