Long Arms Poem by David Harris

Woke up this morning
and everything seemed smaller
than it was the day before.
My arms seemed to be too long
and kept bumping into things.
It was as if they had grown overnight,
even as the day progressed
they still seemed longer
than they were the day before.
I know I am tall and have long arms,
but today it seemed they were more so.
When I wake up tomorrow,
I will really start worrying
if I can touch my toes
without bending over.
