If you were only one inch tall, you'd ride a worm to school. <br />The teardrop of a crying ant would be your swimming pool. <br />A crumb of cake would be a feast <br />And last you seven days at least, <br />A flea would be a frightening beast <br />If you were one inch tall. <br /> <br />If you were only one inch tall, you'd walk beneath the door, <br />And it would take about a month to get down to the store. <br />A bit of fluff would be your bed, <br />You'd swing upon a spider's thread, <br />And wear a thimble on your head <br />If you were one inch tall. <br /> <br />You'd surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum. <br />You couldn't hug your mama, you'd just have to hug her thumb. <br />You'd run from people's feet in fright, <br />To move a pen would take all night, <br />(This poem took fourteen years to write-- <br />'Cause I'm just one inch tall).<br /><br />Shel Silverstein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-inch-tall/
