Squishy As A Pillow

I was so chubby

that I became

squishy as a pillow.

Someone could sleep on me

and use my stomach

as a jumbo pillow.

T-shirts and jeans

were so tight they

stuck to my body

like Trident gum.

I was so rotund

that I became

squishy as a pillow.

I was a human plush toy

that one could use

to hug me and play with.

My belly was bouncy

like a mini trampoline

that fingers could bounce on.

I had a double chin

and my neck was

unidentifiable.
