I'm too short you say?
Well, let's put it this way.
Am I really that small,
or are you merely too tall?

"Drink some more milk."
Like I haven't tried that.
"Haha, you're a midget."
Well at least I ain't fat.

"How's the weather down there?"
You know what, I don't care.
"Are your really in high school?"
No duh, you dumb fool.

"Look it's a dwarf!"
Go jump off a wharf.
"Mwaha, you can't reach."
Guess what, you're a leech.

What makes me so short?
A fluke of the genes?
Nah, you're just a giant.
So there's no need to be mean.

Inspired by too many "Did you skip a grade?, Why are you so short?, Drink more milk (which doesn't actually work), stretch more, and Hahaha you're short." I'm not short, I'm fun sized. Everyone else is normal and freakishly tall.
