Oh Besity! (Anthem)

Posted on November 4, 2025 by JMN

Oh Besity! With tenderness
Our country stands for thee,
Staunch rampart against slenderness
From sea to shining sea.

Oh Besity! Forsake us not,
No di-et shrink our girth.
Caloric excess be our lot,
Our destiny from birth.

Ours the fat and ours the cream,
All exercise to shirk.
Oh Besity, thou art the dream,
Our Nation’s fairest work!

About JMN

I live in Texas and devote much of my time to easel painting on an amateur basis. I stream a lot of music, mostly jazz, throughout the day. I like to read and memorize poetry.
