- Fifty Feet Tall - Inspired By Shel Silverstein's ‘one Inch Tall' - Poem by Allen Steble The Philosophical Poet

This is a cute poem :) I like it a lot lol and it would be possible, if you had a piece of 50 foot paper.

It's a pretty good poem, but not as whimsical as one inch tall. I don't feel the fantasy as much.

Wonderful composition. Love it with 10.

can I use this poem please I am 11 years old and my school wants me to do a poem but I don't know what to do contact csnydereastpointsc.org to say yes or no

Shel Silverstein would've been proud. Great write!

*(Fifty feet tall (inspired by Shel Silverstein's 'One inch tall')) If you were fifty feet tall, you would not go to school the grand oceans would be your swimming pool the hide of an elephant would be your meat and would only take a few seconds to eat a lion would be like a furry flea if you were fifty feet tall If you were fifty feet tall, you would walk over walls and would take only seconds to visit the mall a tropical rainforest would be your bed a snack for you would be a tonne of bread you would were a tin roof upon your head if you were fifty feet tall You'd paddle across the pacific on a glacier of ice you couldn't hug your mum, she would be like a grain of rice people would run from you with fright to move a pencil would be a frustrating plight (this poem would be hard to write, if you were fifty feet tall) Inspired by Shel Silverstein's poem 'One inch tall' Allen Steble If You Were Fifty Feet Tall..... [inspired by poemhunter poet Allen Steble's poem: *(Fifty feet tall (inspired by Shel Silverstein's 'One inch tall')): humor] If you could go to school, it would be the Very High School. I think, for swimming, Australia's Lake Como would do. Go ahead, if you want, and eat the elephant's tough hide, but if I were you, I'd prefer to eat the elephant's inside. A lion might look to you like a small furry flea, but I bet its claws would still sting like a big stinging bee. If you were fifty feet tall, you could step over.....most any size wall, but if you tripped, you might kill yourself in a VERY VERY BIG fall. A rainforest as a bed? Cover with a circus tent or you might get wet! Or you could wear(not were) a tin roof over your head. That's a good bet. You could eat a tonne of bread and drink gallons from rain gutter, (but I'd drink a keg of wine) . Don't forget to add, to bread, butter. Yes, a glacier of ice would make, for you, a super transoceanic raft. If you're fifty feet tall, I'd like to see [maybe not] your daddy's shaft. True, some ignorant people might well run from you in fright, but to me, such uncalled-for uncouth behaviour.......just isn't right! ! (December 20,2013) thanks Allen for sharing the poem(s) and for being an inspiration to me. i don't know WHAT i would have done with my day otherwise! i noticed your name at the top of some popularity list. congratulations, i think. :) bri you would were a tin roof upon your head

This is cute and fun to read- -a pleasure.
