How big is my giant friend? <br />I'll see if I can explain. <br />When he lays down to sleep, <br />He's longer than a plane. <br /> <br />You stand on his shoulder <br />To whisper to him. <br />For him a toothpick <br />Is a whole tree limb. <br /> <br />If you need to ride the river, <br />But lack a raft or canoe, <br />Just ask this friendly giant <br />If you can borrow a shoe. <br /> <br />When he tries to jog, <br />Buildings start to shake. <br />People ask each other, <br />'Is this an earthquake? ' <br /> <br />Every summer day <br />To help stay cool, <br />He drinks enough lemonade <br />To fill a swimming pool! <br /> <br />He hauls his lunch <br />On an old river barge. <br />How big is my giant friend? <br />I'd say he's pretty large!<br /><br />Bruce Larkin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-big-is-my-giant-friend/
