Looking back, over the years Part 2

Here is a poem I wrote in English class for Miss Leyow. That was third form I think. 1979/1980.

It just highlights that all of my life, my focus has been on how large or small I was. Very poor indeed.

The First Years

A few years back I was always saying,
'Mummy may I have some more food?'
And Mummy would always say,
'Don't you want to be slim and trim?'

But at that time it didn't matter to me
If I was as slim and trim
as my sister, or Patsy Yuen, (NB. a former Miss Jamaica)
And then it suddenly dawned on me,

That if I wanted to be slim andn trim
Like my sister or Patsy Yuen,
I would have to stop eating as much
As I used to when I was younger.
