Size Matters. Small isn’t small anymore.
If it’s coffee at Starbuck’s, it’s tall.
If the egg is tiny they call
It medium, or large… or
Let’s take shrimp; they fall
Into three sizes onshore:
Large, jumbo, or colossal, a true oxymoron
To beat them all.
Size matters.
Small isn’t small anymore.
Now a woman’s clothes all
Market themselves as small
No matter what her hips confessed she wore,
Unless, of course they’re super-small,
The supermodel size we all adore.
Those are petite according to the mirror
And the size chart on the wall.
Size matters.
Small isn’t small anymore.
If you’re a man then all
Your clothes are large, or XL, or tall—
Triple XL makes it easy to score.
You can’t buy a drink that is small.
It’s at least a medium or more.
The fries are the new metaphor
Of the way they will supersize us all.
Size Matters.
Small isn’t small anymore.

I guess they're only helping the BIG feel small and small feel big..humans are 'a weird mob '( as us Aussies would say)
who'se to know what it will accomplish in the end.
Delightful write..
