The Lean

Mostly people who are lean Are the ones thought to be mean; Don’t ask them “Where have you been?” For being The Odd Human Being, Who prefer to be not seen. Mostly people who are lean Would enact hair-raising scene, As students challenge their Dean: Rice prove inferior to Bean For long weeks wear just a jean. Mostly people who are lean On Evaluation dead keen: Laugh as one tries to self preen, See beyond what people feign, Keep a memory evergreen. Mostly people who are lean Their trait transfer via The Gene: Watch babies their mothers wean Age but still looking quite Green… End up marrying Beauty Queen
