Dr RKE's TalePiece

A very ADIPOSE woman from far-off TRINIDAD

In Disney THEME PARK, she was quite scared

Of being TIPPED off the roller coaster

They tried explaining over and over

That fatter women had made it UNHARMED

For stringent was the Disney STANDARD

In safety theirs was ever the LAST WORD

Despite all the twists and spins

Making all jump out of their skins.

Assured thus, her fears, they VANISHED

She buckles, SLAPS the belt on her LAPS

Way too short, these extra large straps

And sits munching NUTS, a habit-

She had never tried ever to kick it

In spite of the warnings from her IN-LAWS

The car vrooms- it is worth all the moolah

For the rush felt right in the MEDULLA

DisORIENTed she does become

Champing faster on chewing gum

With a speed to match all the hullabulla

The death ride lasts for what seems an age

She gets off, not DETHRONEd from her cage

How she KEEPS from throwing up

All the stuff that she did eat and sup

Hope she REVEALS on e-MAIL or web page
