Skinny Minnie

Minnie, a tall, skinny girl
chose to give track a whirl
	she ran so fast
	but finished last
gangly legs failed to unfurl

Poor Minnie. But the important thing is to take part.

How cute, Linda! My skinny niece Annette was a track star and it earned her a scholarship. She's six feet tall! But I can see how long legs could "fail to unfurl." Well done. Best wishes, carolyn
