Meditation on Size

There are those who say size doesn't matter,
Quality not quantity's the deciding factor,
A quarter or dime make the same size spatter.

A perfect pitch a crystal vase will shatter,
While there's no bigger flop then a bad actor:
There are those who say size doesn't matter.

From a tiny sore oozes death's atter,
You split an atom and create a reactor:
A quarter or dime make the same size spatter.

The smaller the terrier the better the ratter,
A kick on your shin can cause a hairline fracture:
There are those who say size doesn't matter.

Rip a little thread and the garment will tatter,
Gossip is started by small chitter-chatter:
A quarter or dime make the same size spatter.

Can you swear that size doesn't matter,
When an itty-bitty object is always the x-factor:
There are those who say size doesn't matter.
A quarter or dime make the same size spatter.
