Short Thin Tall Fat

Short Thin Tall Fat
They were all of that
I saw them in the evening
Dressed to kill or so they thought

Beauty they say is skin deep
Did someone say ugliness is too?
If they did I didn’t hear that
Short Thin Tall Fat

Trying hard, dressed to kill
In dresses that didn’t cover the bill
Short Thin Tall Fat
Why blame them for trying?

Some are lucky and looked at
No one knows why
Others long to be but are not
No one knows why

Type of nose
Colour of skin
Shape of eye
Size of butt

All these and more
Decide the case
Why? Why not?
Short Thin Tall Fat

It’s all a lottery
How does it matter
When you are lying flat
In your six feet of allotted ground?

We are just meat covered with skin
Skin that wrinkles in winters cold
And as we become old
Unlovely bits of dried meat
