Call Me Shorty

Call me shorty,
I have to look up
because everyone is taller
except for children who are smaller.

Call me shorty,
I might not be a giraffe,
being petite means not bending, 
walking straight and not overextending.

Cute, Sonia. I am vertically challenged so I understand perfectly.

Line, now that I am older, I found out I lost a whole inch somewhere along the journey. Add insult to injury. Thanks for understanding. ~ Sonia
