I need a new kind of pill to take
I’ve gained twenty pounds in the last seven months
And I have to stop all those ounces I’m gaining

I want to be an ungainly person
No matter what Merriam Webster says
And no matter how gracefully I move
And how elegantly swan-like I appear

I  desperately need to ungain every pound,
So again I ask:  “Is there a pill?“
                                                          ­ljm
I'm sorry, folks - I just can't stop myself sometimes.  I'm up for the third lead role in a Jim Carey film:"Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest." I'm gonna be a star !!
