The lady
Living
Across the
Street
Consumes
Entirely
Too much
To eat.
A sorry
Victim
Of reckless
Cooking,
This morning
She toppled,
While I
Was looking.
Before she
Could
Effect a
Halt,
She rolled
Six yards
Down the
Asphalt.
911 arrived,
Two sturdy
Guys,
Who
Failed to get
The gal
To rise.
They had
The gurney
Standing by,
But couldn't
Lift
Such weight
That high.
At last,
They dragged
Her
Onto
A sheet,
And got her
Up
Out of the
Street.
Applause was
Sounded by
Grateful
Neighbors,
Appreciative of
Their massive
Labors.
They hauled
The piteous
Giant away,
The destination
I can’t say,
And all this
Happened,
Just today.
The moral?
Better
Stand up
Straight,
And watch out
What goes
On your
Plate.
