The Skinny

People scoff at "the fat" because being overweight is not gauche, It doesn't matter what they wear, Prada or Coach, They are alienated like roaches, Yet, if human beings are too skinny, They are said to be diseased or suffering from internal hatred, Genes and DNA are never considered, The red alert goes out, with rumours forecasting their inevitable deaths, The skinny may only be useful in fashion, Designers' favorite pets, hated and despised, because their metabolism flutters faster than flies, The envious rumours of drugs that circulate, can only be born from folks who get a kick out of berating, Life is never a picnic for the skinny and feral, because they are wrongfully scorned by alarmist shrieking "Anti-Bacterial!"
