Sofa Spud No Longer
Posted: January 10, 2010
How the Biggest Loser changed my life…
The Biggest Loser's more than just
a TV show phenom.
It motivates me to get fit
whenever it is on.
It's virtual community.
I feel for these so large.
They win my heart as they lose pounds
obeying those in charge.
The trainers, Bob and Jillian,
insist, rebuke, demand.
A loser's wish is not enough.
That wish is their command.
And as they heed their trainers' bark,
the scales reveal good news.
By sweating more and eating less
contestants really lose.
It's true, I need to drop fifteen
avoiding fast-food crud.
And "Loser" spurs me on to shed
my nickname... "sofa spud."
Don't think this show is just my shtick.
You, too, can benefit.
This fat-free love-fest Tuesday nights
will help you to get fit.
One-third of all Americans
are clinically obese.
So tell your too-fat friends to watch
before they are deceased.
