A Politically Incorrect Write About Obese Kids

By Elton Camp

Many obese kids is a development new

When I was a child, fat ones were few

TV, video games & computers didn’t exist

Seldom a day of outside play was missed

Moving about a youngster’s day was spend

He walked or pedaled wherever he went

Games outside made the child’s day

For in front of a TV he couldn’t lay

Schools had recess and physical ed

Against exercising nothing was said

Political correctness hadn’t been born

A fat kid was ridiculed & left forlorn

As a teenager, he must be normal weight

Or there was almost no chance of a date

Today’s standards says this is not fair

Yet, an obese kid was extremely rare

Let’s see who’ll say that I’m too hard

On the youngster who’s a tub of lard
