Molly had an appetite.
She ate anything in sight.
Until the tragic night
That the door became too tight.

She started on a diet
Just so she could try it.
The apposite plan, apply it.
Her success, you can’t deny it.

Hank, the tank, was not an apposite example, but an opposite one. He’s now 600 pounds. Zounds!
