Penny-Less

Run, run, run,
Penny be slim;
Instead of eating,
go to the gym;
Chances of obesity,
Penny beware;
Vicious laughter,
cold awful stares;

Television said,
you must be thin;
Future for Penny,
looks awful grim;
Nobody will love you
if you’re not thin;
Looks more important,
than what’s within;
Diet books,
do it this way or that;
Penny be thin!
Don’t you dare be fat;

Skinny Penny,
refuses to eat;
Skinny Penny,
all bones and no meat;
She has finally done it,
Penny in a size five;
Probably would have rejoiced,
if only she were alive.
