Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Fleece Obe$e

What's the fuss on obesity?
Next thing gov will be hyping that
The land will sink into the sea,
Just because folks are getting fat.
Forget taxing unhealthy foods.
Gov should go for the tax on pounds.
Weigh in on all the chicks and dudes -
The chubbies making "tax me" sounds.
As they shove the calories in,
They can be paying the tax out.
For gov it is a long term win
'Cause fat is here to stay - no doubt!

Pound obesity with a tax,
Then let'em all gorge to the max.
