Poem: One Inch Tall


Spide

Recommended Posts

This is one of my favourite poem by Shel Silverstein. Hope every member will like this.

One Inch Tall

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).

Funny indeed. But how can you ride a worm to school when the way to school seems miles and miles away. You'll be late by then if that is the case...heheh agree with you alice. :)

 

well good thing it doesnt said anything about how far the school is pj lol. they just used worm so maybe the school is just near. maybe they can replace it with ants. :biggrin:

but you know andry, people sometimes still want to ride because they're too lazy to walk lol. :rolleyes: and they want to look cool with their friends. i don't think it's cool enough riding a worm lol. you're right with ants i will need a lot of sugar to make them appear. :smile:
