For all you French speakers out there ... ?? Hello? Yeah, me neither, and I took it for three years in high school! Today's word is "embonpoint" ... ahn-brawn-PWAN. Excessive plumpness; stoutness. (Just do the best you can. I don't ever expect to hear this word again!!)(Dictionary.com)
Oui
They say that we are embonpoint.
(True of many that I know.)
That we should really walk for hours,
(I do sometimes, for show.)
They say that we should eat far less,
Of cholesterol and fat.
But I say we should eat it all.
What do you think of that?
I can't depend upon the ones,
Who give advice for money,
Who sell us products they've invented,
From chemicals whose names sound funny.
I think I'll stick to all the things,
That God invented first.
I think he knew exactly what,
Would quench our hunger and our thirst.
