I used to be much thinner
but the steroids made me fat
I am the fat lady with throat cancer, much yarn,
Osteoporosis and a cat
Seems the chemo and radiation
Did away with my osteophytes
Now my holy bones are like swiss cheese
That cracks if left out overnight
If I weren’t fat I could say
I’m just a shadow of my former self
I have no teeth not even the kind
I could pop out and put, on my nightstand shelf
I look for things to do with yarn
I’ve a creative artistic brain at that
I am the fat lady with no teeth, much yarn,
osteoporosis and a cat
Now about my cat it’s safe to say
He helps my depression, my panic attacks
He loves the fat lady with throat cancer, much yarn no teeth,
Osteoporosis and a cat
