Sidney Beck Poet Shadorma

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.

Andrea Dietrich August 23, 2011 at 9:51 PM 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.
