All right, so I might have a size a little small.
No, not short, just slender, slim, thin, and slight of girth,
Although I was heavy at the moment of my birth.
Now that I'm grown I cannot find any clothes at all!

At first, this predicament caused very little mirth
When rarely would I find a twenty-nine by thirty-four.
But soon I saw them not at all on the sales floor;
Society created this, the root of my dearth.

Then I looked at boots, confident that I'd find more
That fit, but the footwear industry had the gall
To make products which blistered up both my podal balls,
And irregardless of what I buy my feet will end up sore.

So I must resort to this, being slightly built:
Moccasin boots on my feet, and on my waist a kilt.

Alicat

If I were any more laid back, I'd be in a coma.

Hey kitty kat! I'm back, miss me?

Great poem, and take Mervyns as a suggestion!

"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."
