Carnival Midgets

CARNIVAL MIDGETS Short people? I fear for my feet. . . . . . Could bite ’em . . . Or steal socks. Such people should be compelled To always use stilts ! Even then, I cant stand their eyes - Small, beady, Insect-like - Staring at me constantly, Right in the kneecaps. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Written for by Sydney Peck for Nette Onclaud’s Contest ~SHARE A SHADORMA~

hahaha, ONe of my favorites in this contest how you made it a comedy. Did you ever hear the song Short People? I think it was from the 80's. This reminded me of that fun son. YouTube it if you don't know it.
