Tall

I did what I had to.
I wanted it all.
I may have been short
but I wanted to be tall.

So I went to the doctor
to take hormone drugs.
I was even stretched
by four great big thugs.

And grow I did
all the way to eight foot two.
I could even see eye to eye
with the giraffe at the zoo.

But things are very different
way up in the air
everywhere you go
people just stare.

The grass looked greener
but terned out to be brown
I think I'd rather
be close to the ground.
