The Little Giant

She was playing against the top player
    Now she hoped to be the giant slayer
The reigning champion stood at six feet
    This diminutive  challenger was the one to defeat
As the match went on it became clear
    That the reigning champion's defeat was near....
                Victory .... "Short" and Sweet ....
                                      ~

yes, joseph, running to fill our bowls with popcorn is probably one reason I love movies so much today. Even though I normally don't eat popcorn at the movies. I try to take lower calorie foods that I sneak inside my purse!
