I'M LAZY

I’M LAZY

 Or is it procrastination?

**

You all know I was fat

And a diet was needed.

While I enjoyed what I cooked,

I watched and I heeded.

Here I am years later,

Thin, no longer a pig -

But my clothes, now fall off;

They’re just too damn big!

I need to go shopping,

But trying on clothes?

I hate taking that time

Since I like none of those.

They’ll look good on the rack

But rarely on me.

I really hate shopping!

I’m so lazy, don’t you see!

So, I sit in my “fat” clothes,

As meek as a mouse,

Until my friend shows up

To drag me out of the house.

“Let’s go!” she’ll say

Sporting a grin.

These old clothes won’t do;

You’ve gotten so thin.

“We’ll find some slacks,

Plus a shirt or two.

You’re wearing your flip-flops?

They’ll never do!”

So, here we are back

From the old shopping mall,

Where I drag in the bags –

Will I really wear it all?

I still hate to shop;

I’ve better things to do.

But I have to admit it:

I really like my new shoes.
