Juan Olivarez - Bathroom Scale

There is a scale in my bathroom,
That lies to me.
That needle just zooms,
To where it should'nt be.

It's there on the floor,
Just laughing at me,
Till I head for the door,
And disgusted I flee.

I know it is lying,
I can't weigh this much.
Maybe the scale was spying,
When I had my lunch.
