My Friend Burgers (Ode) by ?-Dave_Mysterious-?
I know a boy who's called Alex H Turner, Though really his name is the plural of Burger, And that noble name I've no wish to disparage, When I say that he is of formidable carriage. I'll describe to you now his bodily form, His proportions do differ quite far from the norm, A vast, swollen belly and putrid behind, From over-consumption of scratchings and rind. And if you should dwell on the cheeks of his bottom, Then surely his facial ones can't be forgotton, They balloon unbelievably, shiny and red, They account for two thirds of the mass of his head. On physical hardship he spares no volition, His stomach's appeased with great piles of nutrition, In early September he's need of a heater, He'll summon a taxi to travel one meter. Here are some adjectives naming him well, Lazy, unpopular, flabby, un-swell, His friends often mock him; they heed not his ire, His gargantuan cheeks are the talk of the shire.

My friend Burgers. Don't know how, but my arm twitched and clicked on a 7 involuntarily.

This is the best poeme about Burgers that could possibly be written. 10.

This is really excellent. I laughed out loud when I read the last line of the third stanza. And again when I came to the last line of the poem.

I now conclude that -=Dark_Angel=- is not ?-Dave_Mysterious-? but I think they are friends from Trinity College as they both know the said Mr Turner, upon whom the nickname "Burgers" has been bestowed.
This poem is not meant to be funny. It is meant to tackle important, hard-hitting issues such as obesity. Do you find dangerously over-weight persons humorous? If so, I pity you.

If you were to ever meet Fraser you would find his swollen corpulent legs so risible as to render your comment redundant.

As it is unlikely you ever will let me describe for you a recent account of him visting his tailor:

Fraser: "I should like a suit please"
Tailor: "And how do you propose I measure sirs legs sir?"
Fraser: "I don't know"
Tailor: "Does sir have a trundle wheel?"

I was just about to send Burgers a link to this poeme, but on reading it a second time I realised that that would be an unbelievably appalling idea. Particularly so soon after his you know what.
