of a fat reduction endeavor

The given words:
brains gimmick hypnotizing liquor chickens flesh
lotion torture uniform machine tease trains

He was the brains behind the
gimmick of hypnotizing the liquor
store operator into making chicken
flesh into a thick lotion as a way
of a fat reduction endeavor

How the chubby and over-weight
freaks had been torturing themselves
through sophisticated weight reducing
machines but being frustrated in
their vain efforts to a uniform body-
builder figure

Just grease their bodies during gym
workouts to tease the fats to burn
the lust and crazed to a trim structure
This would be enough motivation
to push the market 
Not to talk of the manly 
and sweaty aroma of
chicken permeating when
they proudly present their he-man
muscle toned torsos for scrutiny
upon finishing training

Can be a great idea to complement
all the steroid based muscle enhancing
banned drugs that are flooding
the market which may bring early death

Successful business ventures had
been known to have beginnings
from crazy ideas!

Most likely though this chicken
lotion appears way too crazy and 
may not see the light of day!

  1. Good wordling, but a horrible idea: I find that kind of over-developed male body utterly revolting!

  3. I think you can leave off that last verse and go far on the YUKKY factor. People will believe anything, slather themselves with dead bird raised for this purpse. In his book on Anger,Thích Nhất Hạnh says to avoid angry foods. Your poem is sad and very funny! Satire at its best.

  5. Indeed there are so many different techniques to enhance one's body. I prefer natural rather than artificially enhanced. Smiles.

  14. The more disposable income we have the stupider we become. Meanwhile the rats, cats and bats are rubbing their paws (or whatever) with glee...and mosquitoes and ants and just about everything else.

  15. Good whirling, Hank. It is amazing what people will put up with to have muscles. I find it rather scary.
