The Midlander

There is this permanent resident in the mid-section of my middle-aged body, applying for citizenship. It's case has come up for hearing today.

Name: Tummy
 "I moved in here long ago, contributing to the overall well-being, a certain look of prosperity and draught-resilience for the host body, and planning to settle down for good. 
How can you still be ashamed of me and wish I go away? Please make fat-shaming a punishable offense. I'm not any illegal migrant, but it was you who allowed me in, during times of dietary excess and let me grow and prosper! You should instead think of integrating me with the rest of the body and make me feel included, and give me voting rights (over what we need to eat in the next meal) considering what I bring to the (dining) table!"
