In Every Weigh

 

 

A belly laugh scorns diet’s play

To melt the belly’s fat away.

—But before you leap into the fray

Warm up with something light and gay:

 

First, try a giggle on for size

(A snicker, now, might jiggle thighs:

We doctors think this is not wise

—A ‘snigger’ we would not advise).

 

Now, start a chuckle in your craw,

And roll it up and round your jaw

Until it forms a grand guffaw

And soars out in a loud Heehaw!

 

Make merry! now, I would implore;

Get down and rollick on the floor.

Let laughter out—oh, let it roar!—

Till mirth pours out of every pore.

 

Do as I do and as I say:

Resolve to belly-laugh  each day.

You’ll see that jelly melt away…
