Shared amongst men friends
On subjects they kid one another on
Coming from a child
Who is totally delighted
With wonder
Shared between women
That are privy only to the secret
They alone know
It's beautiful...
But sometimes...
It is the worse thing in the world...
You might not be dressed appropriately
To be cool
You might be the one that is considered an outsider
You might be too thin
Too heavy
Or too effeminate
Or too black
Or too white
Or too short
Or too tall
Or too smart
Or too uninformed
Or too...
Well you get the picture...
We tend to think that it is a good thing...
But when it is at the expense
Of someone else's feelings and self worth
I have to tell you
And many unfortunately
I believe would also agree
Not all laughter
And consider this the next time
You may find yourself doing it
Is beautiful...

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
