A Friend We Love

A man however hard he tries
Grows tubby without exercise,
Our Father X is short and fat,
Which is not to be wondered at.
For lunch quite often nowadays
He eats spaghetti bolognese,
Then, just in case he might get slim
He tops it up with vitamin.
But do you think it worries him
To know that he is far from slim?
No, just the other way about,
He's proud of being short and stout.
