5 Limericks
or: A Small Solution to Suffering     

A girl in my English class
Skinny with no body mass
They say she's anemic
And hypoglycemic
And today just might be her last.

A skinny girl washed ashore
I bet she has eating disorders
She'd cringe at an eyeful
Of pastries delightful
And her stomach would fill up with sores.

I wonder what this girl feeds on
Perhaps her food is all gone
I should probably share
My own kitchen wares
To fatten the meat on her bones.

I feel now that something needs to be done
With women this thin I  cannot have fun
I'll do something about it
I'll buy her a salad
And sausage and ice cream and buns.

I'll take her out soon on a date
I fear that she'll die if I wait
I cannot delay
I'll do it today
On the health of this girl, concentrate.
