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
