Skinny people are above reproach!
You can't make fun of them.
You can fat shame, if you like.
Skinny shame doesn't work.
No one can be shamed for skinniness,
Or for being young.

"The youth is wasted on the young,"
The mother horse whinnies to her foal,
Who, thin and wiry, prances about,
The wind blowing its shiny new black mane.
The dance of the dark horse is in vain.
Emptiness.
"Vanity," quoth the preacher mare,
With her colt bearing hips
And her large healthy frame,
"All is really vanity."
