Short

Some purport
That I am short
And herein is
My full retort – 

A person’s height
Is always right
And most won’t cotton
To a slight.

So be a sport
And please support
The tall, the average
Or the short.

But overall,
I’d not choose tall – 
They must hit harder
When they fall!

I agree with you all the way, Ilene! We should be happy the way we are, considering we have to live with it:) lovely sense of humour. // paul

Good, funny stuff... In average, and not above a good fall once in awhile. BG

Well let me see if I can reach down to your level that you preach. You see I've never been concerned with something I have never learned. For I am average in so many ways. And as you well know, physical height is no reason to praise. But stature of wisdom, kindness and love. Can leave you feeling that your well above.
