Your 'Weight' Is Beginning To Show

Fame.
Name recognition...
And success.

Hmmm...
Let's see.
I'll try some of that.
With a side order of...
This.
But not too much.
And...
A lot of that with relish.

But,
I do have a request.
Is it possible to get a taste of all of that,
Without anyone knowing...
I'm the one that will be feeding off of this?
And have been for awhile now.

You see...
I don't want anyone to notice,
I'm carrying all this 'weight' around.

'We'll do our best to keep your secret.
But,
I must say this...
Your 'weight' is beginning to show.'

Well...
I do hope it's in the right places.
