The Dull Bits

Gilbert the Walrus 

 

Gilbert the Walrus was fat and round,
Carried spare blubber by the pound.

Yet he thought his stomach was flat,
And the bulges just muscle defiantly not fat.
 
Happily he thought that he was thin,
Wore tight tops over his double chin.
 
He needed to do diving to fill his food bowl,
Yet he was too fat to squeeze through the diving ice hole.
 
As everyone watched it was quiet,
A very embarrassed Gilbert decided to diet.
 
He threw away the sweets, chocolate and cake mix,
Swapped them for apples, pears and many carrot sticks.
 
He ate carrots during the day, and all throughout the night,
Until he became an extremely peculiar sight.
 
One day he strolled by a shop, in the window saw a funny glint,
For all the carrots he’d eaten had given him an orange tint!
