Lean and Mean
5Tuesday, March 2, 2010 by RuthSeq
“Skinny”, “bony”, “tall and lean”,
“Banana”, “French fry”, even “French bean”.
“A rod”, “a pole”, “a walking stick”,
“A pen”, “a pencil”, even a “toothpick”.
“You have no curves or cheeks to show”
“Your Bulimic”, “Anorexic”, a “Size Zero”,
“A chalk”, “a fork”, a “coconut tree”,
“You look like Olive Oyl and have her knees”.
I am like this because of my genes.
You think it’s funny, I think it’s mean.

hey Ruth, i must say just one thing to you for this....that your posts are like you....BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL!!
I believe you have been a bit harsh on yourself while giving vivid expression to your thoughts and perceptions. Moreover Books are not always judged by the cover.
However I like your writing style, you child of the nineties
ruth my love .. no matter what adjective anyone uses you are beautiful .. dont let anyone make you forget that ..
Oh sweet Jesus, I LOVE this one.
Bahut acche sequeira!
As long as we're all that and not bulimic or anorexic, we should be okay :)
I like how you make these points so well, not a long, intense discussion or anything..this, so funny yet so deep.
Thanks! I was hesitating to put this up. I don't feel bad anymore. I know how I am and I know many other people who would like to be like me. ;)
