    If You Were Only One Inch Tall

    (instead of six-foot 'n' all ...)

     

    Uncle Bob's Homage to Shel Silverstein

    Hear and read the original.

    If You Were Only One Inch Tall

    ​

    If You Were Only One Inch Tall,
    How would you get to school?
    Would your micro-mini thumb land you
    In a micro-mini carpool?

    I  Y  W  O  O  I  T,
    How would you read a book?
    Would you wait for nosy Nancy to come
    And steal a next-page look?

    I  Y  W  O  O  I  T,
    What would you do for sports?
    Would you vault with a yellow number two,
    Or wait to grow into your shorts?

    I  Y  W  O  O  I  T,
    How would you make a friend?
    Would you keep your head and shoulders high
    And ask kids end on end?

    I  Y  W  O  O  I  T,
    How would you find a date?
    Would you seek a two-centimeter pal
    Or risk a six-foot mate?

    If you were only one inch tall,
    Would it really matter ... at all?
