HORIZON

Now....bring me that horizon!

It's waiting there for me

I'm drawn, as to a magnet,

To the far-ness of the sea.

I'll cross a non-existent line

To where the sun goes down;

And I'll never walk another mile

In your dank and dusty town!

POOR WORKMANSHIP

I feel the design of the human body

Is nothing more nor less than shoddy!

This must be what everyone feels,

Or else why did they invent high heels?

It's obvious sex-appeal is stronger

When the female leg is longer.

One feels a leg should be one and a half

Times what it now is from thigh to calf.

The little fat chappy I have shown

Is certainly not all on his own.

Now, when Nature considered mating,

And set about perfect-shape-creating,

Why did it miss this vital statistic?

Surely it was optimistic

To think that we'd all feel impassioned

By a leg severely rationed!

And then there's the psychology!

I am only five foot three

And yet I feel all tall and slinky

Till I view my legs, which are rather dinky!

I view this as a mean distortion.

Oh to be more in proportion!

We are taken-down several pegs

Whenever we view our stumpy legs!

Let us all, with one accord,

Order Nature back to the drawing-board!
