If You Were Only One Inch Tall
(instead of six-foot 'n' all ...)
Uncle Bob's Homage to Shel Silverstein
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?
