But he also long to be tall
So, he stretched everyday
Stood on bails of stacked hay
Until he stumbles and fall

Abstract Verse

Hey Joe!
No! No! No!
Tie that bow,
On your smallest toe, 
Before it will snow,
And let your foot flow!
You don’t need to know,
Just show
The bow
On your smallest toe.

in the largest litter I ever saw. 
You are late to eat,

and bark all night.
