A Little Chubby

He was a little chubby
   Others called him tubby

He couldn't catch a ball
   Awkwardly would he fall

One day he took sick, then got sicker
   At his plight, the others snickered 

He knew they teased him
   Which did not please him

He stayed at home, locked inside
   Afraid and alone, he wanted to die

Then at last he'd had enough
   Too bad for them---life is tough

He returned to school and gunned them down
   Left a note: ---Yours came around.

Oh. Went to write a few things but instead I suggest to you to an incredible Ted Talk by Dr Amen, I think it's called What 8300 brainscans tell us~ something to that effect. Comrade you bring to mind the idea that 'teaching is learning'. I appreciate your poetry my friend. xomo

I don't know how anyone can appreciate anything more than I appreciate all of your comments and your unwavering support. Thank you, eternal Comrade. Best wishes, Gershon
