Narrative Poem

Obese?

Yeah that’s what they call it.

A 400 pound kid without the help of a soul.

No one knows what made him this way, but this is the way they all thought about it.

His brother pounds him with hate, making him feel like losing his weight will never be a goal.

He tries and tries to think of a way

Just so he could finally lose this weight.

Days go by with more and more irate,

But one day he knows he will prove them wrong

By taking this weight-off by working all summer long.

Tick-tock tick-tock, there goes the knock.

At the door awaits the swole trainer ready to take that weight off like a hog.

First week gone and the trainer has him worked like a mule.

The closing of summer approaches and a new lifestyle

Is about to be full. With his brother seeing improvements

He starts to worry 

Because he’s in no hurry

To stop picking on his brother.

He thinks and thinks about what to do

But with no worry in the world he keeps on doing, no matter how bad the duel.

With weight losing  

And his muscle improving,

He knocks off the pounds of fat, knowing he is not losing.

Last day of summer and he’s looking at the scale

And sees that he did not fail.

Looking back at it he’s much happier he chose exercising instead of the costly bypass.

Oh, his name

As spoken with no shame,

Henry the Last.
