Atlas Overburdened

Fat people canes

  They buckle and break

Fat people canes

  They smell faintly of steak

Fat people canes

  Always arched

Fat people canes

  Holding up the heavily starched

Fat people canes

  Struggle down the street

Fat people canes

  An aid for battered feet

Fat people canes  

  Support poorly distributed weight

Fat people canes

  Caught within a sewer grate

Fat people canes

  Can't handle the load

Fat people canes

  Easing movements slowed

Fat people canes

  Used to skewer crumbs

Fat people canes

  Used to butter buns

Fat people canes

  Prop for a hefty handicap

Fat people canes

  Can't fit within a taxi-cab

Fat people canes

  Deserve a wage

Fat people canes

  Traded in for a Rascal with age
