Little Man



Hey, little man ... 
yeah, you with the big head
Napoleonic complexion
got your face turning so red
People say you got a big mouth,
that you talk a real giant-size game
But my homies say, you’re a shrimp baller,
whose short of stature with a light frame
And if things don’t bounce your way,
you just simply squawk and squeal
Little piggies tend to oink a lot,
when bacon is gonna be the next meal
Big Mac
Big Wheel
Big Boy
Marketers don’t do small,
Munchkins can’t sell tall 
Little man are you listening ...
yeah, you with the big feet
Come get your feelings stepped on,
Mama Smurf is sitting in your seat
Hey, little man ... 
when will you get your proper respect?
Butt of another joke again,
big laughs is ‘bout as large as you gon get

I am enjoying your style of free verse. It takes such talent to be able to find the words to fit the flow. There is also so much symbolism and double meaning in your lines. Good poetry.

Ty, Arturo. Appreciate the love and support. Your comments are dearly valued, my friend. Yeah, little guys tend to overcompensate a lot. Lol! Love and more love always.
