Poem: “Fat cells”

Fat cells

Fat cells live on /

Like the lyrics of a song /

Stuck in your ear. /

One from which you can’t get clear./

Fat cells live forever /

In fair or stormy weather, /

Regardless of if or whether /

You’d pack them away like winter sweaters. /

Fat cells never die, /

Nor really ever fry. /

Sweat them you may try, /

Butt they remain on hips and thighs. /

Fat cells are gleeful /

Thick and sticky as treacle. /

They can even be deceitful /

And they never say goodbye.

New words to live by: “Spam fat”

Time, once again, for New words to live by. This is a word or phrase not currently in use in the U.S. English lexicon, but might need to be considered. Other words, such as obsurd, crumpify, subsus, flib, congressed, and others, can be found by clicking on the tags below. Today’s New Word is created by combing a sound and a noun. Without further waiting, Spam fat.

OLD WORDS
Spam, v. Original a noun meant to name a food product consisting mostly of pork and formed into a block, in the digital/computer age it became a verb meaning to inundate people with unwanted e-mails, text messages, possibly even kitten photos.

Fat, n. That adipose material that shows up on your body when and where you least want, often, but not exclusively, around the fall and winter holidays.

NEW WORD
Spam fat, n. 1. That adipose material that shows up too often and too quickly because you are being inundated with too many goodies in too short a space of time. 2. Too many e-mails in too short of time offering you last-minute gifts to buy, parties to attend, and photos of parties to which you didn’t attend or weren’t invited. This also includes post-holiday spam fat offering you ways to lose those “extra holiday pounds.”
