A nonsensical poem about discrimination.
Carol was born with a shoe for a head;

She had meant to kiss boys, but she kicked them instead.

Try as she might, try as she may,

She seldom had friends, for she scared them away.



When choosing their teammates, the captains would sneer--

"We haven't got room for deformities here."

So Carol would watch, but she never would play.

She claimed she did not want to play anyway.



Carol was born with a shoe for a head;

She never played sports, she got fat, now she's dead.
