Lament for the Fat Kid in us all ..

I was at a newsstand and I found it highly ironic that these two magazines were situated right next to each other. How much more American can we get ?
SO I took a picture of it. The picture brought up so much from my own childhood. I always wanted to be He-Man. I acted more like She-Ra and looked more like Shamu. I digress .. 



I was a fat little kid, with a really big head
Had a few friend's, didn't wet the bed.
I was gracious and sweet, one of the good boys
Always letting people, even you, play with my toys.
I loved Strawberry Shortcake
So the girls were my mainstake.
A little queer
Very few applauding cheer
Loved parading in Gramma's high heels,
Certainly not playing with fiery hot wheels.
I loved my twinkies,
and other boy's winkies.

I wanted to be Madonna
then I could get them all to jump on da'
fantasty wagon (for sure - it was pink)
Not for the football team ? Ya think ?

Through all that swish,
I held onto a wish
That my life would be fulfilling, complete
So far so good, I have laid some concrete
