Okae, i came across this poem that my class once did, and found it verii interesting....So for your viewing pleasure...Fat Is Not A Fairy TaleJane YolenI am thinking of a fairy tale,Cinder Elephant,Sleeping Tubby,Snow Weight,where the princess is notanorexic, wasp-waisted,flinging herself down the stairs.I am thinking of a fairy tale,Hansel and Great,Repoundsel,Bounty and the Beast,where the beautyhas a pillowed breast,and fingers plump as sausage.I am thinking of a fairy talethat is not yet written,for a teller not yet born,for a listener not yet convinced,for a world not yet won,where everything round is good:the sun , wheels, cookies, and the princess.
