Minis

Mini products in the stores
Are lined up on the shelves,
All looking quite adorable
Beside their grown-up selves.

From salty snacks in little bags
To sweets of every type,
The smaller versions feed into
The “less is healthy” hype.

And sweet potato pie must have
Those marshmallows called “mini,”
‘Cause big ones melted on the top
Might make us less than skinny.

I used to dress in mini-skirts
When fashion deemed it wise.
At least these mini edibles
Look better than my thighs!
