Big Folk

Large people talking to each other
In groups
Reminds me of seals
On rocks
In San Francisco
I wish it didn't
But if we're sharing secrets
I must announce
I was bullied by a heavy kid when I was a child
And never recovered
He tried to push me out of a tree
Because he wanted to see me fall
I know a lot of overweight people are mild mannered
But if we're being honest
I have reservations

Sometime later on
This boy fell out of a tree
On his own
And broke his arm
This also scared me
Because I was frail
I'm bigger now
With a little extra weight of my own
But not much
Not nearly enough

As a side note: These are all fictitious occurrences. More of an experiment in personality. Just felt the need to say that.
