If water makes you shrink,
So many hours
Taking showers,
She's clearly turning pink.

With every outward growth
		Of the big bad book

He was then caught in a daze
His check seems to shrink
Didn't know what to think

But undressed now Peter does shrink

In big poets words
Great sense of human
With ease you learn
From them that one
Should not shrink his
Physical world in his small skull.

With a nod and a wink,
She went sailing away through the sky.

Spent hours in psychiatric sessions
   His soul he laid bare
   The shrink didn't care
He billed even more for regression

Don't tell them what I've wrought.

They saw your hands stained scarlet.
