St. Obesity's Is Calling You

In long gone olden days, Christians used to scourge themselves
And crawl around desperately on bloodied knees to prove their faith
Or they'd fast and not eat their four square meals (plus snacks) a day
But there's no need for that nowadays; self-denial is so 20th century.

So why don't you waddle along to St Obesity's Pentecostal church,
The chapel that loves to feed your flabby body and your soul,
Where king-size portions of Christian excess are served up 24/7?
No sirree, Christianity doesn't come any bigger than at St Obesity's!

You can muncha-longa-burger while you hum your favourite hymns,
We've got unlimited non-diet Coke to refresh you at our sermonothons
And you're welcome to chew on giant blessed wafers with extra holy glucose
And guzzle sweet non-alcoholic communion wine served by the brimming quart jug.

And kindly don't forget our wonderful seasonal specialities as well:
Why there's our Eastertide all-day high cal-'n'-protein barbecue Last Supper
And our Xmas family fun consecrated monster mince-pie eating contest
With 1% of profits going to our unique "stale cookies for Africa" charity.

Say, folks, why be depressed by all those gloomy, skinny crucifixion pictures
When you can enjoy gazing on the lifesize four hundred pound clockwork Jesus
On our distinctive and patented contemporary reinforced concrete cross?
Put a coin or two in the slot and he'll sing your favourite psalm!

Won't you sit back and relax in our extra-wide super-strength comfort pews
And easily navigate the generous double doors to our beautiful chapel of rest?
We're real proud too of our super extra giant size baptismal re-birthing pool
And the industrial strength derrick we've installed to lift you lovingly in.

Our wedding fees include a whole prenuptial turkey and faithdom fries per person!
And don't forget, folks, if book your own funeral service online now,
We'll give you a double-width coffin for the price of a regular one!
It's so easy to make St Obesity's your spiritual cafeteria of preference!

NOTE RE "400 pounds"

For those in various weight-measurement jurisdictions.....

[a] in Britain, please replace "400 pound" with "28 stone"
[b] in the rest of the world, please replace "400 pound" with "180 kilo"

But no matter how you measure it we are talking OBESE!  HUGE! GROSS!


Author notes

Another mighty masterpiece of good taste from Edna Sweetlove at www.allpoetry.com/poem/1048479 .

Written on the 23rd of March, in the Year of our Lord 2005.

This poem is dedicated to all fat ugly Christians who gorge themselves on junk food and then pathetically claim they have an eating disorder. Yes, they do have one. It's called GREED.

    I had to chuckle at the double wide coffin
    Excellent take on the prompt~

    I confess when I saw your name I thought oh dear god this is going to be intensely gross and creepy and the picture IS! but the poem ... it is fantastic for me to read I love how brutally honest you are.

    I think beside the picture, the only complaint I have is the font ... it is hard to read bold comic sans, at least that is what I think the font is?

    Either way; brillant poem!

    Thank you & Best of luck

    Personally I find fat women very easy to get on with,as long as you have a few pounds of flower to dust them with.(this is so you don't have to look far you just fuck the damp patch)of course there are those who say it is not polight to call them FAT.
    Then again I don't fucking care.

    Well, this is downright scathing. I like it. Perhaps it's just my own personal disgust with our country's knack for getting carried away in its own excess, but I think you've made something here that (and this is essential) an obese person could himself look at and get something like an electric shock from the realization. The difficulty here is that as blubber can insulate someone from an electric shock, you may need to make your poem even more preposterous (actually, that's poor word choice - your poem right now is almost understating it). I particularly like the stanza about the clockwork Jesus - if for no other reason than that it emphasizes what exactly the cost of all our decadence is. To be honest, I feel like fasting. But instead I suppose I'll just applaud.

    As a social statement, I get a sad sense from this, not necessarily intentioned, but the insight can't help but make me ponder the real problems of obesity. The fact that those women posed for that photo, and it looks like the second one can hardly stand on her own, problem #2, they make lingerie that size, now of course, everyone deserves a touch of lace not just the Barbie dolls of the world, but....all this being accessible and commonplace speaks volumes. As usual, your detail is vivid. Working in a hospital I am sorry to say that many of the staff are this size, in a place that is supposed to promote health.

    For Barfing Out Loud - I Like It

    We were looking at a street scene out west here in the 1890's, and a fairly large crowd of people were shown in this photograph; I asked my wife, "find the fat person:" there was only one. Our diet, is most of the problem, and sitting around on our ass doesn't help. Back then not only did you have food free of preservatives, etc., but you worked, or drank, and there was no air conditioning; so you sweat it off baby. ¦:¬{

      You are right: in my youth there were very few fat people (and those who were fat got a good laughing at). Fatties need to be mocked constantly and also need to be refused entry onto trains, buses and aircraft. I was once on a flight where a fellow passenger was so fat he needed a special extender to the seat belt and also he had to have the armrest removed too which meant his gut flopped out into the aisle. What made the whole experience particularly nauseating was that he was returning home to the USA having just purchased a young Thai bride. I bet she got good and squashed.

    I enjoyed reading this a lot! The idea of a church of food is great, sadly not as far from the truth as it would be.
    The altar of brands and fast food has certainly been done, but I like the more generalized themes: Excessiveness and gluttony (FOOD!)... funfunfun.
    I'm thinking perhaps you overdid it on the prenupital turkeys, but then again, that is the point, is it not?

    This is not only deeply profound and disgusting but its so embracing that a woman would go out half naked looking like that. Where is there pride and dignity, and self worth. These women are degrading to all women. You write was very interesting indeed. With great detail and big grand imaginary. Overly great I am also over weight for my size. But I am toned and can see my feet. This women must have to sleep sitting up not to suffocate them self with there own weight. Truly heartbreaking to see. For they are all such beautiful women. Really sad to see things like that. Thank you for sharing (LISA)

    Personally I think this poem should have been entered into either the general or culture category of the Raven contest rather than romance and love, but I appreciate there is a certain passion in a piece of work like this.

    Satire is very often misunderstood, not only as a form of poetry but in any written or verbal form, because it can appear extremely derogatory to those who feel they are the victims, or those who empathise with the victims. I feel this poem is a look at society in general and the problem of obesity rather than making victims out of any particular individuals, and also think it’s been linked with religion as a means of portraying how we are preached to or possibly indoctrinated by fast food advertising in the rush of the modern world, in much the same way as religion ‘teaches’ us what is right. Many accept it without question.

    On a personal level I feel it’s a sad fact of modern society where many adults work full time, that good culinary skills can’t or don’t get passed on through the generations. There are too many people who think that cooking is getting something pre-frozen from the shop and putting it in the microwave for five minutes and don’t give a thought to the sheer amount of extra salt, sugar, fat and other additives in their food, plus there is an alarming increase in the number who buy take-away on a more regular basis. I’m sure there are some who would disagree with this but they only have to read the endless evidence in medical journals for a more informed opinion. As someone who is qualified and spent much of my adult life working in the catering industry, I know what is food good and what is not but there are so many who don’t. They fall prey to advertising with little or no thought for what they are putting their bodies through. I also know there are some who suffer medical conditions and while there may be no easy cure for them, I think they fall into a completely different category to those who simply overeat. As a little extra fact added here, in Britain we were healthier as a nation after the Second World War due to rationing, where people couldn’t get that much meat so instead they had to eat fruit and vegetables. People also did more exercise and didn’t go everywhere by car as they do now.

    I’ve digressed here a little so I’ll return to the poem content. I think the author shows us clearly the truth in that in the 21st century we don’t have to deny ourselves of anything much at all and while we all wish to visit the ‘holy temples’ that feed us with intoxicating delicacies, the days of normal size portions have long gone. Double and even triple size portions are now considered as standard treats for a mere few extra pennies. Why have small for 99p when you can have a triple-decker for £1.10, it’s only a few pennies more but forget about the few extra inches on the waist line and the cholesterol in your body. Then when we’ve finished devouring our main course we can force down a delectable dessert just to make ourselves feel really pampered.

    “With 1% of profits going to our unique "stale cookies for Africa" charity.” I found this line very thought provoking and wondered about all the times we as individuals, smile and praise ourselves for ‘doing good’ for the underprivileged people of this world by over doing things in our own lives. Perhaps if we ate less or more cheaply, and gave some of money to ‘real charities’ there wouldn’t be so many underprivileged people. This type of ‘fast food gimmick’ is primarily a profit making enterprise and not one intended to help the masses lead a better life.

    I think the following stanza shows how we are encouraged to be ‘happy with who we are’ and bypass thoughts of what we are by using the distractions of life around us. I personally think it’s a mirror image of anorexia but others might not think so. The penultimate stanza gave me the impression that as we get bigger, we make everything around us bigger so we feel more comfortable, yet as we come to take that comfort for granted we’ll relax and eat more, thus getting bigger and needing to make our ‘world’ bigger, a vicious circle that only we can break if we can truly see what we are doing and avoid the pitfalls of unhealthy food.

    If any one needs to be reminded of what we do to ourselves by over eating then I think the last stanza could stand alone and still hold the complete strength found within all the other stanzas. Perhaps it could be used as a printed health warning on the boxes as they do with cigarette packets “Eating this product can kill you” Enough said about food …

    …. Now to pick over the bones of the poem. Pentecostal should have a capital p, kingsize and lifesize should have a hyphen in them, pre-nuptual should be prenuptial and Eastertime should be two separate words. All other ‘made up’ words can be spelled how ever the author chooses.

    Many readers will find this kind of poem offensive if taken at face value but if the deeper issues are viewed with an open mind I think they might just think again.

    Thank you for entering the Raven Contest 2007 and good luck with your entry! Your work may also be viewed by other Raven judges.

      And of course, one point I forget is that the piece is intended to be a sort of ad for an American church so surely a few minor grammatical errors would be obligatory? That's why I used the silly word "cookies" instead of "biscuits"...

      Thank you for your detailed comments. I appreciate that. I should point out that the piece is mainly aimed at American fatty Christians rather than the British, although we are rapidly aping our transatlantic co-aggressionists in Iraq in the grossness stakes.

      Re the nitty gritties:-

      You stated:
      -"Pentecostal should have a capital p" - I probably agree a capital P is better but not essential, especially since I am a rabid atheist;

      -"kingsize and lifesize should have a hyphen in them" - again agree marginally but I think usage over the past 2-3 years has moved to allow these to drop the hyphen;

      -"pre-nuptual should be prenuptial"; you are entirely correct and I am ashamed of my error - unfortunately I can't correct it without losing the lovely pictures of the fat bathing beauties in the formatting, so please don't tell anyone!

      -"Eastertime should be two separate words"; this is being a bit pedantic I feel - ideally you are probably correct, but you're probably scraping the barrel on your spellchecker here - in fact I think I meant to type "Eastertide", but the same observations apply - I can't put it right without losing the fat girls!

      Generally speaking, you are correct about what you call ‘made up’ words (you say they "can be spelled how ever the author chooses" (since we are scoring points I would respectfully point out that "however" is ALWAYS one word and NEVER two words in this sense - touché ).

      I always appreciate intelligent crits, so thanks very much!

        I also appreciate that someone is willing to reply to my comments after the time it takes to read and reply to poems, so thank you.

        I apologise for my mistake in "however" though I think it was a typo rather than done intentionally. In fact I have just noticed another mistake in my review, made because I changed my mind about what I was writing. I won't correct them as it only goes to show we are all human and make mistakes. I don't think i'll score any extra poins for it anyway lol.

    That last stanza made it all work. You know, all that extra sized stuff is necessary now; half my sister's congregation are HUGE. St. Obesity seems a stunningly cynical faith; essentially, a wonderful write, as always. I should probably get back to reading your stuff more often.

    It was my pleasure to feature this in my column Edna. If only to improve it grammatically! I mean, what the fuck is 'nuptual' when it is at home in the marital bed?

    Not to mention a specialities that really should have been speciality (unless of course you were AmericaniZing it? I will give you the benefit of the doubt)

    Still no excuse for kingsize and lifesize without a dash (-) to make it easier to digest.

    wrong again Misty, how do you do it?

    Over eating is not an addiction. Eating is something we all do, if we eat more than we need we get fat, simple. We have choices, eat the required amount and be fine, eat too much, dont exercise and get fat or eat too much but get off our fat arses and go for a run. Simple.

    It is a misconception that people ridicule others because of their own insecurities, they do it because they are funny fuckers and if you put yourself in the line of fire by eating too much then it is your choice to be ridiculed.

    Is that a recent pic? how's the Christian weight loss program working out?

    Edna, brilliant, as always, yet in a world full of isms I am afraid that you are simply fattist. Well, after Melody anyway.

    Okay.. basically here.. the people who sit and eat up everything in site truly disgusts me.. in a way I cannot explain. I am fat.. yes..however I take this poem with stride because it is true.. there are people out there that just eat because they can.. then get fatter.. and then in turn eat more. I do not eat much..and when I do.. it is usally healthy.. for some reason I am not partial to some of the disgusting crap people put into their bodies.. however I do enjoy a nice piece of black forest cake every now and then.so here is my issue. I had a child when I was 18..I gained 70 pounds or something(because I took the phrase "eating for 2" seriously.) Not smart on my part..I came out of the pregnancy weighing about 200 pounds(after I had him) Then I started taking birth control. which supressed my apetite.. and my sex drive.. poor hubby,he did not get any very often. But I gained 40 pounds.. can you believe that?? 40 pounds!!!!!!!! That is seriousely ridiculous. Now I have stretch marks.. from being prego and fat.. and I cannot stand to look at myself in the mirror..ewww gross!! As for religion.. I do not mind you mocking it.. as I feel religon is for those who need to feel accepted somewhere. A cult basically.. but accepted..

    This was a great write and written with a humor that some may not get.. I certainly get it and am not mad about it at all.. if you are fat.. and you do not excersize to lose the weight.. it is yur own fault. No one elses.. we deserve to be mocked for being so lazy and selfish. I am starting to lose the weight because I decided to get off my lazy bum and do something.. so if you have an issue with being fat.. quit frigging complaining and do something about it. (not directed to you Edna)And for those who want to sit and argue.. remember the phrase "freedom of expression" if Edna wants to write about stuff that offends you.. click next for god sake.. and get over yourselves!!!


    Anyhow Edna.. keep writing.. I am adding you to my favs.. I love the controversy and the style of your work!! Great job hon!!

    Love

        I is isn't it?? No I did not put on 110.. after I had my sone I lost 40 pounds.. so weighed 200.. but then gained back the 40.. needless to say I have lost about 15 to 20 pounds since then.. but only because I finally decided to quit being lazy and try to lose the weight(am still disgusted with myself) Now I weigh about 220..and so only about 70 pounds overweight.. not 110.. god I would prolly dies if I weighed that much more.. LOL Oh well... LOL..Have a great day Edna!! You rock!!

          220lb. That's nearly 16 stone. Shit, that's not little. I am pleased you see the funny side of it. Seriously, this is NOT good for your heart. I'm 13.5 stone ( = 170lb ) but then I'm a man.

            That's actually quite little for a man. I think it is, anyway. It depends how tall you are. Most men on my dad's side are quite large, on my mum's side skinny and tall. I thought 15 stone was the average for a man.

    Not horrible but lovely!

    Over-eating is NOT an addiction. It is a combination of GREED, SELFISHNESS and BAD TASTE IN FOOD, nothing else. If you eat too much, you get fat. If you get too fat, it is bad for your health and if you get clinically obese you look obscene. How could anyone "respect" greed and selfishness when half the world is starving. Grossly fat people should be ashamed of themselves.

      "Over-eating is NOT an addiction."

      I have to disagree with this statement. For some people, eating food triggers chemical reactions in the brain similar to that of being on drugs. You also have some people with an affliction called "Prader-Willy Syndrome". This is characterized by an insatiable desire to eat. I wonder how many people have this disease and are not diagnosed with it. FYI: I work with people with various forms of mental and developmental disabilities... I DO have a working knowledge of what I am talking about.

      I am intelligent enough to know that *this* piece is about those who absolutely refuse to take care of themselves worship at the alter of McDonalds. I feel I must, though, remind the reading audience that not all who are overweight are that way due to laziness and greed. It is the blanket statements and judgements that you make, Edna, that rub people the wrong way.

      I do also feel that those who judge should be willing to be judged. What say you, Edna, dear? Want to move into a glass house for awhile so we can have a look see?

        Prader-Willy Syndrome? Is that for real? And what do they get an insatiable desire to eat? If it is the middle part of the syndrome I would be happy to donate my body in any way I can. No biting though.

    this isnt funny

    all you have done is taken 2 subjects that you knew would course offence but it isnt written well enough to offend anyone. picking on people because they are fat isnt funny. some people i know eat because they are down and they get fat and become more down. it is a vicous cycle what would you rather they do get drunk or turn to drugs or a life of crime. how is being fat something to ridicule other human beings for? and the pic is degrading so take it down. thumbs down

      You appear to have been at the back of the queue when they handed out the sense of humour pills. But you are right in one sense: people get fat through over-eating, then they realise how ugly they have become, so they eat even more. Goodbye.

    I think this is funny and it certainly true regarding the girth of the western world while half of us here on the planet live on a dollar (us) a day... but this time of year the metaphorical significance of the fat and happy church is appropriate... if I recall Jesus is always portrayed as thin and rather fit, maybe it was the fish, high fiber diet and the long walks...
