Age-Weight Score

Another way to measure up.

Twenty-eight years old

Weighing twenty kilos,

She weighs about as much as

Two boxes of pillows,

Which isn’t enough

To sustain prolonged life,

Hopefully a husband

Didn’t starve his wife.

Whether kilos or pounds

It rarely works out,

If it’s the same as your age

There is reason to shout,

Something is wrong

Almost all of the time,

Forty kilos at age forty

Isn’t optimum prime.

Ninety kilos at ninety

Or maybe, ninety pounds,

In this day and age

Where too much abounds,

Either unit of measurement

Gives cause to investigate,

What is Aunt Betty eating

How much is on her plate?
