JUST ONE MORE POUND<\/p>\n

I have got a serious question,
\nHave you ever seen an old bag?
\nIt is something you won’t forget,
\nMan, how those old people sag.<\/p>\n

They will just sag in the middle,
\nAnd they will just sag at the top,
\nI fear that just one more pound,
\nAnd those ole folks gonna drop.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, eating piles of candy,
\n‘N guzzling down cans of beer,
\nTell me is it really any wonder,
\nTires drop down to their rear?<\/p>\n

To watch them is just amazing,
\nI swear it’s one cold, hard fact,
\nThe way those folks walk about,
\nIs a very careful balancing act.<\/p>\n

Now, I’m not trying to be mean,
\nYou see, I am not exactly trim,
\nIn fact, I’m kinda actually hopin’,
\nMy tires gonna help me to swim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
