Pt 1. These thighs I really hate See, they have far too much weight They wobble too much, they're not at all tight They're not as small as I would have liked I'm the midriff, and I'm much better Skinny and toned and shapely From ***** to hip, I do look fit! Them thighs got nothing on me. Yet what better way to move about To run and dance to 'twist and shout' Without them I'd surely lose Without them I could not move! Now I ought to see this more clearly For a long sickness has beset me And I have been the weakest link Im holding you back - don't you think? Pt 2. Oh stomach you're a constant pain Though I know you're not truly to blame But, at its very worst, I, thighs, have been cursed I cannot do my duty Now ruled by your various aches Oh tummy! - Just let me run for Christ sakes Such a simple thing to miss Deprived by your fetid sickness I'm just trying not to let you stop me From enjoying life as I ought to be And I know that we all suffer From some something At some time or other You turn food to energy for me I can't do anything quite so tricky! You see each and every part takes its toll: And each and every part makes up this whole.

From my body (to my body)
Pt 1. These thighs I really hate See, they have far too much weight They wobble too much, they're not at all tight They're not as small as I would have liked I'm the midriff, and I'm much better Skinny and toned and shapely From ***** to hip, I do look fit! Them thighs got nothing on me. Yet what better way to move about To run and dance to 'twist and shout' Without them I'd surely lose Without them I could not move! Now I ought to see this more clearly For a long sickness has beset me And I have been the weakest link Im holding you back - don't you think? Pt 2. Oh stomach you're a constant pain Though I know you're not truly to blame But, at its very worst, I, thighs, have been cursed I cannot do my duty Now ruled by your various aches Oh tummy! - Just let me run for Christ sakes Such a simple thing to miss Deprived by your fetid sickness I'm just trying not to let you stop me From enjoying life as I ought to be And I know that we all suffer From some something At some time or other You turn food to energy for me I can't do anything quite so tricky! You see each and every part takes its toll: And each and every part makes up this whole.
My friend set me a well known challenge - write about your least favourite body part from the point of view of your favourite body part, or vice versa.
