Awfully Thin

It must be awful 
to be so thin 
That you have to eat lots 
over and over again.

They say metabolism 
is your secret weapon; 
But I want to know, 
How does it happen?

You can eat ice-cream 
bowl after bowl, 
loaded off with toppings 
delicious and cold.

You  can eat cake, 
two pieces of pie, 
piled with whipped cream; 
full of calories high.

Your  waistline stays trim, 
Your  cholesterol low, 
no matter how idle, 
or how old you grow.

So please tell me, Why, 
When I eat like a cat, 
my lipids go up, 
and my body gets fat.
