Ode to a bathroom or a famous fat person

I mentioned previously that a bathroom figures largely in one of the poems I wrote for Fat Poets Speak  (2): Living and Loving Fatly. However, I think we need an ode to a bathroom, or a happy poem about a great bathroom. Or an angry poem about terrible bathrooms for fat people. How's that for a poetic thought?

Or, considering that it is Halloween tonight, how about a poem about becoming something else or someone else? The best: to dress up as famous fat people.  Mae West. Lily Langtry. Aretha Franklin. Mama Cass. Amy Lowell.  Jackie Gleason.  A great sumo wrestler. The great Bollywood film dancer, Jaya Prada. Fats Domino. List goes on..

And on.
