He is though a very short man <br />To the world he must always prove himself <br />Tired of woman laughing when he walks by <br />And hates it when children calls him an elf. <br />When other man talks he always shouts <br />When other men walks he has to run <br />As though his disease his known to himself <br />As what he has is the little man syndrome. <br />So he goes out and buys himself a bike <br />And then buys a pair of high heel boots <br />He wants people to think he is truly a man <br />He even sometimes wears a small boys suit. <br />He has a short temper as he is a short man <br />Some times he tries to tell others want to do <br />But he gets ignored which is quite common <br />To the world his existence he must always prove. <br />He drinks and smokes to make himself feel tall <br />Must lie and steal at what other men do own <br />Always has seconds to what other other men had first <br />In the world of man he is always alone. <br />When he walks he must walk on his toes <br />Sadly he is shorter than all man and all child <br />And when he's with a woman she hunches her back <br />So she can help him feel tall every once in a while. <br />When others get taller he grows not at all <br />He is the same size as when he was a child <br />So the very little man has little small hands <br />And everything or one he touches he will defile. <br />He thinks he is tough but that is an act <br />As he cowers to everyone that he will meet <br />He will run and hide and cant fight his own fight <br />As a man he isn't he cant stand on his own two feet. <br />When he take his picture he stands on a chair <br />While all others will sit as he must always stand <br />But no matter what he does or what he wears <br />Everyone know the syndrome of the little man. <br /> <br /> <br />Randy L.
