Being so tall, it's so great
Standing proud, upright, and so straight
Looking over everyone, it's good to know
That I'll never be blocked to see a show

Playing sports is so easy too
Blocking shots in basketball is easy to do
Catching balls in football is great as well
Leaping over people, it's so swell

I'm not tough to spot, you'll always see me
Standing out above the rest just feels so free
If you need some help, just let out a screetch
To grab that thing when you just can't reach

I love picking up my nephew and neices
And giving their two foot tall world six foot increases
Another view for them to see
Because they stand just above my knees

This height I got is from the milk I think
A galon a day is what I drink
Drink beer, less milk my dad always tells
Since beer is cheaper and always sells

You seem to dwarf me my friend would talk
You take one step and I take two to walk
Your arms so long and swing so freely
When did you get this tall? I mean really?

To people who wish to be tall I will say
You're missing out on something every single day
I'm so glad that I am blessed
Because being tall is something I love best

This poem is of a very "high" standard, as was the previous! I love seeing the good and bad points. I am so little that sometimes I feel overlooked- Now I understand your side!

hehehe this is sooooooo cute...

Way up high, or down low
We all have a path we have to go
If I need to see, and I just can't
I ask you for your panaramic view
instead of rant.

See I'm not heavy i'm a sister
but to climb a pole, well i'd get a blister
So hang around, you're the best in town
Your panoramic view is much better than from the ground.

Just being silly, and
