Shel Silverstein - One Inch TallShel Silverstein - One Inch Tall
Work rating: Low


If you were only one inch tall, you`d ride a worm to school. The teardrop of a crying ant would be your swimming pool. A crumb of cake would be a feast And last you seven days at least, A flea would be a frightening beast If you were one inch tall. If you were only one inch tall, you`d walk beneath the door, And it would take about a month to get down to the store. A bit of fluff would be your bed, You`d swing upon a spider`s thread, And wear a thimble on your head If you were one inch tall. You`d surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum. You couldn`t hug your mama, you`d just have to hug her thumb. You`d run from people`s feet in fright, To move a pen would take all night, (This poem took fourteen years to write-- `Cause I`m just one inch tall).
