Ode To A Fat Girl Fat girls are fine! Fat girls are mighty fine! Oh Yeah! Heat in the winter time! Shade in the summer time! Oh Yeah! Oh how I love her in the summer time, That sweet big fat girl of mine. Oh Yeah! But I love her most in winter time, When I snuggle up close to that fat firl of mine. Oh Yeah! For ever ounce of weight, there is a pound of love. That's why she will always remain, my great big turtle dove. Oh Yeah! With each passing day, I love her more and more, My lovely sweet Eleanor. Oh Yeah! Cause fat girls are fine! Fat girls are so mighty - mighty fine! Oh Yeah! ~~~finis~~~ By mitch on 5 Nov. 1999

Dedicated to all those heavy duty persons I have known over the years. To have known them was to love them. Most especially, I honor the wife of my friend, Thomas. I was stationed upcountry in Thialand with Thomas in 1965. Night after night I watched as he sat in front of a picture of his 'Big Moma' as he listened to recordings of her voice and let the tears run down his face. It was he that said "Heat in the winter and shade in the summer time." All I know is, to have earned the deep love of Thomas the way she did, she had to have been fine, oh so mighty - mighty fine. Oh Yeah! mitch
