Shorty Shorty Poem by Crystal Pierce

Shorty Shorty

Rating: 5.0


Short stack, yep, that's me.
Being short is never who I wanted to be.
All my friends look down to see me,
and laugh when I try and stand tall.
'I'm normal height, ' I yell
But they are to tall to tell
what I am saying at all.
'Thumbelina! Where are you? '
I'm so short it is an issue.
I have to climb on my counters and kitchen bar,
and it takes to long to walk very far.
'You're e short! '
'But I'm not invisible, ' I retort
Down here at least I have shade,
at least in that department, I don't need aide.
Why must they pick about the vertical composer of my spine?
My height is cute and perfectly fine!
I am short and vertically challenged, maybe,
but it's just how you see.
To me, you are a giant stalking around,
sending pulses, and shaking the ground.

don't let Bernard fool you, below in comment. age and height DOES matter, but there can be advantages as well as disadvantages to 'shortness', or, as my high school friend, Karl, a retired eye doctor, says to being altitudinally-challenged.....or something like that. oh, i think it is vertically-challenged! ...[later, i see you know the term] some favorite lines: But they are to tall to tell what I am saying at all...........BUT, look for a tiny typo here! ! ! and it takes to long to walk very far.....ooopS! ! ! same typo in this line. what does e mean here: 'You're e short! ' more favorite lines: To me, you are a giant stalking around, sending pulses, and shaking the ground. are you REALLY short? nice one. to MyPoemList. bri :)
