If Only I Had Abs

What We Secretly Think

By Rowan Finley Published 7 years ago 1 min read

If only I had abs... everyone would stop and stare.

If only I had abs... I sure would feel rare!

If only I had abs... I'd look so great on the beach.

If only I had abs... my girlfriend would cling to me like a leach.

If only I had abs... I'd always be ready for a photo.

If only I had abs... I would be quite the road show.

If only I had abs... I'd be quick to take my shirt off.

If only I had abs... people would not be quick to scoff.

If only I had abs... I'd look like I was straight out of a magazine.

If only I had abs... I would turn into quite the big scene.

If only I had abs... I would truly feel like a model.

If only I had abs... then maybe I would not feel so awful.

If only I had abs... wouldn't my life be so complete?

If only I had abs... I would appear like a great athlete.

But really though... would abs make much of a difference in life?

Truth is... probably not.

If only I had abs...
