The Inch of Two
I sometimes wonder what I would do
If I were only as tall as the inch of two
Would I dart and dash amongst the feet
Trying to avoid them from squishing me
Would my home be a hole in the wall
Like Mr.Mouse, who to me is pretty tall
Or would I snuggle up underneath the fridge
And eat what little food is dropped to the edge
I could take soda caps from out of the trash
And turn them into little party hats
Paint them all in colors bright
Then hand them out to the pantry mice
The bedroom dust bunnies and I
Would hang out all the time
Each of us light as a feather mind you
As we run from the house keepers evil vacuum
If I go out during the day to play
I'll make sure it's a place that's safe
Away from swooping birds and killer bees
Just in case I'll take dust bunny security with me
We could open a park that's safe for us
Where little people can play from morning to dusk
At the end of the day we would head for home
With fingers entwined so we're never alone
And when we do make it back home
I'd gather all the dust bunnies I know
We'd sit in a circle underneath the bed
Where I'd tell of the days adventures I had
I sometime wonder what I would do
If I were only as tall as the inch of two...
This is a collaboration with my friend KM for Phillip Garcia's 4 year old daughter.
