As a kid my hair was a very easy fix,
just pull it back with a rubber band into a ponytail.
As a teen a ponytail was not going to work,
off to the hair shop with picture in hand.
I sat in the chair and said,
I want to look like this picture.
I sat dreaming about my great new hair style,
as I looked in their mirror I was horrified.
I did not look like the picture I showed them,
what had happened to my head of hair.
I will fix the professionals,
next hair cut was on me.
That is when I started to cut my hair,
I still laugh when I get asked -
can they have my hairdresser's information.
I have found some great new friends,
hats in all sizes - styles and colors.

Lonely comes in three sizes
The pint is light and floats near you
The quart you must hold in your lap
But, the gallon is unliftable
and it blocks all sunny paths

My jeans are all stacked in three groups
From slim to the wide hoola-hoops
While diets are tedium
I’m back to a medium
My fasting would shock our brave troops
With nineteen pounds lost in three weeks
I smile when I see smaller cheeks
I credit V-8 juice
For making my jeans loose
My butt receives better critiques

That lady from the town of Devises
Yes the one with two different sizes
A Great Dane and a Yorky
Honest it's no porky
Twas the big one that won all the prizes

Sizes Doesn't Matter

The small birds bathe in shallow pool
Somehow claws sink
One follows other link
No matter the weather is hot or cool,
They are very interested in singing
At a time they bathe
They enjoy the both
In social way no sign of quarrelling,
Then, at a high place they all return
To dry up the feathers
And complete prayers
Both useful and funny they are seen,
The beautiful creatures of the nature
Vital in playing roles
From the both poles
Quite excellent, charming in feature,
Farmers, environment are benefited
In finishing insects
Having pollen joints
They are small but services are great.

Small changes come in different shapes and sizes
Don’t forget for a second what we let divide us
At the end of the day how does physical being really matter?
Be kind, one day the one you quietly disgrace might save ya
No one is perfect, no one is super special
We're all here for a reason,
No one is blessed with a special spell
it'd be scary to animate what some keep inside
They figure out what makes them tick, what makes them drive
I'm not trying to get psychological
These are thoughts that cross my mind
My own behavior scares me sometimes
As I change, it's like stepping outside of my skin
Better described as emerging from what trapped me, the hollow bin

THE SIZES OF STUPID
Stupid comes
In many sizes—
Mine is back ordered

"sizes matter" chirped the hatter before
popping the size 8 and 1/4 on his head
and jumping theatrically into his bed
hat and clothes all snuggled into dreams
"things aren't always what they seem"
he muttered as he drifted slowly to slumber
and counted sheep with irrational numbers
shearing off some wooly fractions
then arising after slumbered satisfaction
to further woolgather a daytime indulgence
about teas and tease, a timely innocence
to tickle his taste buds, two lumps please
though he oft prefers the honey of bees
then he wanders off over knoll and swale
to encounter his comrades and tell a tale
of little girls and deep dark wells
and felines with invisibility spells
and ravens much like a writing desk
riddles without answers, and other mess
that seems to jump from head to mouth
though facing south to tell the truth
to let the sun shine onto his face
he'd stuck with hare in tea time and place
so matter-of-factly exclaims "shall I pour?"
but quickly adds "sizes matter", like before

God loves us all,
Tall or short,
Slim or chubby,
Good neighbour and real friend,
Rich or poor,
Wise or foolish,
Well-educated or educated,
Traditional or contemporary,
Musical or artistic,
Athletic or non-athletic,
Religious or secular,
Near or distant,
Writer or poet,
Divine blessings from the Lord.

How come 50 cents bags of chips
taste so much better,
than their big-bag cousins?
Or 7 oz. nostalgia coke soda bottles
have such a taste, oh, so devine?
I puzzle over such things,
I guess I'm just the wondering kind...
So it follows I should be happy,
To have this shrunken mind.

A life created,
not yet rated,
plenty to bend,
to escape and reshape.
To exist in the lost and found.
Spill my full glass,
make me empty,
then half empty,
then half full.
When I do refill,
spill and spill again,
till I'm once again empty.
Spill a life created,
a version unrated.
Spill the glass.
Smash the glass.
Bend and reshape.
Exist with no shape.
The mess of a life created,
your place,
your shape,
unshaped,
and erased.

Look at size,
From the atom,
To mountains,
To planets,
To galaxies,
We are aware,
Of a lot of spectrum,
But how much of it,
We can move and use,
Only a little,
Most of it is beyond,
And on a natural “refuse”.
