Poem

Hello There, Runt

By Elton Camp

A cry of outrage comes from the politically correct
For the very word “runt” they will angrily reject
But I have used it only to gain for this poem attention
That it’s insulting and demeaning you needn’t mention

Certainly to be abnormally short is not a desirable trait
But there could very easily be a far worse sort of fate
So short people shouldn’t spend their time just whining
It is their own accomplishments they should be defining

Genghis Khan (5’ 1”) the founder of Mongol Empire
And caused many a taller, ferocious warrior to expire
Yuri Gagarin (5’ 2”) was the first human in space
He didn’t have to grow tall to be able to win the race

Mahatma Gandhi (5’ 3”) for non-violence was he 
But he managed to make it so that India was free
Voltaire (5’ 3”), a zealous supporter of civil liberty
Influenced others to strive to set themselves free

Pablo Picasso (5’ 4”) with brush creatively gifted
Into a new age of its development, art he lifted
James Madison (5’ 4”) because the USA president
Influenced the new country in the way it went

Charlie Chaplin (5’ 5”) became a legend on the screen
The films that he made by millions are still seen 
Dolly Parton (5’ 0”) is a big person in many a way
A writer, singer, and musician—what can I say

You see that short folks can really do amazing stuff
Use the abilities that you have & it’ll be enough

And those of us who have a more standard height
Don’t mock the short if we want to do what’s right
