Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Little Kids' Courageous Calls

      No one says ‘ugly’
          Who uses ‘fat’
      We’re all way more sophisticated
           than that

      But a little kid doesn’t mind
           if you weigh too much
           or you appear strange
      calling you ‘a fat pig’ or some such

Regina Elliott November 18, 2025 at 1:42 PM Hi Gershon, been called “ugly” over the years by plenty of so called “adults.” Bullying never goes out of style for some people. Some start in elementary school and continue it throughout their lives. Must be so unhappy inside. Shalom :) Gershon Wolf November 18, 2025 at 7:45 PM I hear, Regina. Very gracious of you to realize that these 'adults' are just little children with the appurtenances of age -- wrinkles and warts. ~ Gershon
