Fat Bird, Small Tits.
Yeah, she might have a great personality
But she’s a fat bird with small tits
So what’s the point?
If your belly sticks out further than your boobies
That really isn’t good.
If you look like a competitor from “It’s A Knockout”
But you’re just in a caftan, on the way to the sweetie shop
Maybe try just a touch harder.
Yeah, she may be really funny
But she’s a fat bird with small tits
So what’s the point?
If you have to turn sideways to fit through a double-door
Maybe buy a gym pass?
Two seats on a plane but you only want to pay for one
You’ve got some fuckin’ nerve!
Two arse cheeks, two seats, two plane tickets.
Yeah, I may discriminate
And have a bee in me bonnet
But she’s a fat bird with small tits
So what’s the point?
That’s amazing; it looks like you have a front botty!
It’s got a crack and everything.
And let me just say
When you order 2 bags a cheese and onion an a bag of pork scratchin’s
The diet coke just seems futile... and nobody believes thats ‘cause you prefer the taste.
I know it sounds harsh
I know I sound shallow
But she’s a fat bird with small tits
So what’s the point?

Hi Sebastian/Christopher.
I have to admit that like most here I am confused re your intentions with this poem. Like you tag line, I am left wondering "What's the point?" You say,
"In my opinion, I am happy 1% have got it. It just means to me that 99% have to try a bit harder and look at the poem more objectively."
Who are you writing for here? I assume that as you have posted it on a publicly accessible site that you are writing for public consumption. If only 1% of your intended audience have "got" the poem, (and I presume you refer to the free speech angle rather than the denigration of women) then it does seem to make the work rather less than wholly successful. Calling your audience "lazy" is, I might suggest, not the best way to popularise your work. Have you perhaps considered the alternative that many might find this poem distasteful and didn't get "the point" simply because the poem did not express itself well enough? Why the reluctance to "explain yourself?" I thought that was one of the purposes of this site - to allow fellow writers to communicate and share thoughts and ideas. You may well be happy with this piece, but I feel you might do well to consider the views of your intended audience. If, as it seems, you are unwilling to take into account the views of readers, yet stil wish to expose your poetry to the outside world, I would echo your own sentiments - "What's the point?"
Regards,
A.E.
