Poem "FAAAAAT" by Jen, first precious, beautiful daughter. To her Mom, Kep

There are superheroes that help this country fight crime. The legacies of Superman and Wonder Woman have withstood the tests of time. But crime is not the only problem that the U.S. must combat. One of America's biggest problems is the problem of fat. But we needn't worry, this battle we will win, For there is a woman working hard to make this world thin. Over the years she has had many disguises, From leg warmers, to leotards to thongs, and other surprises. She has fought the fat with many techniques: From aerobics, to yoga-but started out by riding a rocking horse like a freak. Thirty years ago, she received her first clue, That fighting the fat was what she was meant to do. A man named Richard Simmons transferred his charms, Into her first daughter whom he held in his arms. When the mother took her precious, beautiful baby girl from him, His energy exuded and she knew she had to make the world trim. Combating the fat is not as easy as it looks, Superman should consider himself lucky that he only deals with crooks. You can put a crook in jail and throw away the key, But you can't prohibit someone from sneaking a hamburger or a fudge cookie.
