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
