I'M No Thumbalina

(To the giants who don't believe; big suprizes still come in small packages, don't believe it... ask Goliath) < ~***~ *If I were the size of your thumb* I would be very precautious as to where I stepped for I may be mistaken for a mouse and eaten by a cat... Or, even mistaken by the dog as a chew toy, becoming slobbery and wet… Conversely, I could dine with Thumbalina, and go to prom with Tom Thumb I could bathe in a teacup and dry myself with a piece of gauze sans bay rum I’d use a cotton ball as my pillow and a matchbox for a bed my food supply might be large but I think I'd get sick of stale bread... I would dream of being taller than the sweetest plum If I were the size of your thumb ~***~>

This is really funny, and I am still cracking up. The topography looks like a submarine just sailing along. I like your analogy in this piece and your use of figurative language to bring out the images. Great job! ~Joseph
