Where the fairy folk do play,
Where the elves dance in the sun,
Where their inch-high horses run.

Glanced over at sleeping Tess,
Moved away an inch - well done!

He was a dandy, a coxcomb, a fop.
Fashionable without one inch of slop.
But when undressed

fragile, weak
always but an inch from death

With nipples that pop out an inch
Although it just might
Be love at first sight

I’m an inch long
With a mighty song.
My hundred decibel call scares a foe.

The Battle of the Bulge

A vaulter, reportedly French,
thought earning a medal a cinch.
Though they won’t divulge
the size of his bulge,
he lost by much more than an inch.

Just Give Me a Chance

Close your eyes
wait for my soft touch,
that full moon,
I'll teach it
how to caress inch by inch,
just give me a chance!

Equipped

Shane Blaine walked with a swagger
and was viewed as a bragger.
Ladies liked him lots
but kept secret their thoughts.
Awed by his eight-inch dagger.
