one Inch Tall

If you were only one inch tall you'd ride
      a worm to school
The tear drop 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 hair
   If you were one inch tall

You'd surf across the kitchen sink upon
    a stick of gum
You couldn't hug your mam, you'd
   have to hug her thumb
You'd run from people's feet in fright to
     You'd move a pen would take all night

(This poem took 14 years to write
     cause I'm just one inch tall)
