my fat lady?

Question

My Fat Lady.

Not long after closing time,
My mates had all just gone,
I was drinking up my pint,
Ready to move on.

A fat girl sat down by me,
But yet she did not speak.
A big fat tear formed in her eye,
And fell down her fat cheek.

My heart was touched by pity,
I said, "Don't be so sad,
"The beer in this establishment
"Can't be all that bad".

Drunkenly, she told a tale
Of chaos and alarm.
She moved a little closer,
Her bosom touched my arm.

I thought that helping strangers
Really was a duty,
And under all the layers of fat
She could be a beauty.

I took her home and let her sleep
Alone in my spare bed,
And as I got to know her,
She did things to my head.

I told her that if our affair
Was not to be just fleeting,
She had to stop her smoking
And cut down on her eating.

I told her that to change her life
From her living hell,
She really had to exercise,
And sup less booze as well.

I taught her to respect herself.
I made her ego bigger.
Her skin improved, she smiled a lot,
She gained a perfect figure.

Then our close relationship
Went right down the pan,
Because she went and left me
For a handsome man.

That woman has bad judgement
When it comes to men.
In a year or two she'll be
Fat and drunk again.

Answer 2

Jonsey,

That is an amazing poem! Keep up the good work! Wow, everyone is giving you so many stars but you deserve them all! Keep on making us proud! Love ya <3!

Answer 3

so the Q is: is standard beauty related with being superficial ? was the fat lady profound and delicate inside :P before she became slim ? :))
i am pretty fat (acceptable fatness), i drink and smoke and i don't want to be saved ..

i really like this line: her skin improved.....
to a bigger ego!

i strongly want to consider this poem a metaphore of how we make emotional investments in people in a relationship and we end up empty inside afterwards. in that case, maybe ..just me ..every one of us has been the fat lady to someone

Answer 4

You are a very talentend individual.

And I enjoyed your prose

Just a word of advice, don't post that on YA, PUBLISH IT and copy right it. Someone is likely to steal it.

Great work

Answer 5

When I first perused your poem,
I found the title alarming;
But after I'd read the entire rhyme
found it's truth and wit disarming!

That was classic!! Two thumbs up!!!
