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).
