These are what I made in school. But some of them are pretty good, so might as well share it.

Untitled
If you were just some ten yards tall, you’d need no ride to school.

Your teardrop splashing on the ground would make a swimming pool.
Your crumb of cake would be our feast,
And last us seven days at least,
Though you yourself would seem a beast,
If you were ten yards tall.

If you were really ten yards tall, you’d never fit a door,
And it would be impossible to go down to the store.
Our bed too small to be your bed,
Your strand of hair some yards of thread,
If we were stepped on we’d be dead
If you were ten yards tall.

A roaring blast would seem as just a little faint sound hum,
You couldn’t hug your mom ‘cause you’d just squeeze her ‘till she’s numb.
And writing would just be a fright,
The ink splattered ‘cause held too tight,
(So you should never try rewrite--
this poem’s just way too long).



Original poem “One inch tall” by Shel Silverstein

If you were only one inch tall, you'd ride a worm to school.
The teardrop of a crying ant would be your swimming pool.
A crumb of cake would be a feast
And last you seven days at least,
A flea would be a frightening beast
If you were one inch tall.

If you were only one inch tall, you'd walk beneath the door,
And it would take about a month to get down to the store.
A bit of fluff would be your bed,
You'd swing upon a spider's thread,
And wear a thimble on your head
If you were one inch tall.

You'd surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum.
You couldn't hug your mama, you'd just have to hug her thumb.
You'd run from people's feet in fright,
To move a pen would take all night,
(This poem took fourteen years to write--
'Cause I'm just one inch tall).
