Long-Legged Epitaph

Here she lies to take her rest
Unconventionally and  vertically
Iolanda, daughter of George,
Five foot ten since age of twelve 
If you see a bump with daisies
Her skull keeps on popping out

for Andrea's contest

Si eu intotdeauna am fost mai inalta decat majoritate fetelor de varsta mea. De aceea m-au trimit parintii la 6 ani la scoala, nu la 7 cum era normal. Si chiar daca eram cu un an mai mica decat majoritatea, tot eram mai inalta...acum am 1.72 m, adica aproape cat tine, tu trebuie sa ai cam 1.75 m, nu? Cam atat vine in metri parca...Foarte amuzanta poezia, mai ales ultimele doua versuri:))Bafta in concurs! Mersi mult ca mi-ai zis de revista;) Emy:)
