Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Tubby

President William Howard Taft
Weighed in at 300 plus pounds.
People poked fun and he just laughed,
And said he rolled on White House grounds.
Early in his term he got stuck
In the bathtub, while Congress sat,
Waiting for him; 'twas nip and tuck.
His speech was on cutting out fat,
Given after being quite late.
And Taft explained the reason why.
"The budget ought not meet my fate,"
He said, "Less is better thereby."

No fat president now, some say.
Way not pc to be that way.
