More for Me

*More for Me*

Tonight she told me that she’s gained a few pounds…
Then I felt like doing backflips.
Not because there’s “more of her to love…” but because there’s now less for the world.

So Bon Appétit!
Have some more Po’ boys!
Help yourself to some chicken & dumplings,
Biscuits and gravy and pecan pie!
Keep loading up on turkey and jambalaya…stuff yourself with more stuffing, oh, and of course: jelly doughnuts!
What’s that? You’ve got a craving for some more banana pudding??
Yes, Please!!
And when you’re done with all of that, I got a full slab of BBQ ribs with your name on it!

The more pounds—The merrier!
She could be 5 bills
&
I’d still marry her!

While everybody says she’s not their taste,
I’ll eat her up and thank the Lord with stuffed face…
While she may change and morph into a different size,
She has the same soul
I eyed in the first place.
