Proportionate Pride Poem by John Sensele

Pride in powers and potential in you
Status that can't boast in public
Brains with a low IQ
Summersaults a lass into great fame in the Third Republic.

Pride in the obese body you have
Eyes that can't see
Eating habits that portrays an urchin as a glutton slave
Lands a bloke into a lucrative job yonder Mediterranean Sea.

Pride in a head that can't do Mathematics
A tongue that can't speak received pronunciation
Atrophied legs that can't do gymnastics
Propels a lass to lasting affection.

Pride in pockets that can't store cash
Sleeping space that hurt your back
Home with a budget slash
Steers a lad into a squadron crack.
