an update!
what we ate
could relate
to our fate

there has been a debate
that what is on the plate
illness can create

how could one translate
kind words of a mate
saying we carry extra weight

our appetite does dilate
we start to eat at eight
stop when it’s too late

exercise we sure hate
to wiggle like a fat bait
then meet the same fate

yet! it is not in us innate

I willfully state
it is not too late
new habits to dictate

the promise is great
to change our fate
we cannot wait

for a better date
or be too overweight
to fit the heavens gate
