Out To See
i hate to
be short
but not a
midget
or to be
politically
correct a
little person
but in Ireland
in days of
yore not
your or
my time
i would
have
been
a wee folk or
in the land of
oz i would
have been
a munchkin
and in other
times i'm not
sure where
the word dwarf
derived from
but now
looking
back
and
re
re
ading how
this poem
began i
realize
that i
am not
being
short
at all
but rather lengthy so
stop me in
the poppy
field and
i'll go
back
to
sleep
