(This poem is fiction. I am not obese, and I don't wear suspenders; not that there's anything wrong with that).
I've been wearing suspenders since the day of my birth,
only now they're much bigger, because of my girth.
I wear burlap pants as I haven't much money,
so it's not a fun time when the day's hot and sunny.
I shopped for a belt once, and my size they had not,
so I tied two belts together and became overwrought.
So it's back to suspenders with my hot, burlap pants,
they're unpleasantly scratchy, and I've noticed a rash.

Clutterbug, the last time I commented on your poem I said you were gifted.
I have to reiterate. This one is so funny and cute all at once.You are truly gifted.
I write poems myself.But I find it hard to write horror and funny poems.
This one is super cute. Great job!
