He was huge, my guardian
\nSent my way by who knows who
\nBig people no doubt.<\/p>\n
Concerned with my safety, no doubt.
\nOr perhaps concerned I might explode?
\nWho knows\u2026<\/p>\n
Mountains of molehills if that be the case.<\/p>\n
I am not like the terds not deserving of a \u201cu\u201d.<\/p>\n
In any case, he was enormous!
\nSix feet, eleven inches tall, as I recall,
\nFlying coach instead of the business class ticket he bought?
\nTrading down with the guy next to me?<\/p>\n
Very strange indeed.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a nerd, not a terd,
\nAnd so sorry to have inconvenienced you,
\nOh so very handsome tall man from somewhere else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
