Tiny Elephant
There was a short wait at the doctor’s office today,
typically odd considering he’s usually on time-
He’s my least favorite doctor, I really must say,
but he awfully good trying to figure out my mind.
I had an open secret I really wanted to express,
an amazingly awful time I was having at school-
I appeared invisible one afternoon at recess,
they called me “tiny elephant” and that I wasn’t cool.
See, a girl named Patty was very passive aggressive,
naturally strange when she bullied other friends-
Many other unpopular celebrities were quite impressive,
but they were big babies and in the in-crowd couldn’t blend.
One day the light in the darkness really opened my eyes,
I ran slowly to Patty and gave her a piece of my mind-
There was a small crowd gathering nearby,
the deafening silence made my eyesight so blind.
I stood up for myself and seemed to be pretty cruel,
acted naturally but really was acting pretty ugly-
There were so many of my least favorite friends at school,
but I gave her what she had coming, I was awfully lucky.
Patty was a big baby and acted like her dry eyes would cry,
growing smaller and smaller by every darn minute-
I screamed nicely, “Patty is there a good reason why?”
But my unruly patience had a really strict limit.
After all the sweet agony was finally said and done,
there was a noticeable absence in the desk next to me-
I guess the silence was broken to her annoying fun,
and now I am stuck in the happiness of virtual reality.
