One Inch Tall

If you were only one inch tall, you'd ride a worm to school.
The teardrop of a crying and 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 youwere one inch tall.
you'd surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum
you could'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 )

一寸高

倘若你只有一寸高，便能騎著一條小蟲去上學。
螞蟻哭泣時的一滴淚將成為你的游泳池。
一點蛋糕屑能變成一場盛宴，
足夠你至少吃上七天，
一只跳蚤就會是一頭可怕的猛獸，
倘若你只有一寸高。
倘若你只有一寸高，便能穿越門下的縫隙，
而要行至商店則需要花上一個月的時間，
一小撮絨毛能變成你的溫床，
你能在一根蜘蛛絲上玩秋千，
頭上戴著頂針作為頭盔，
倘若你只有一寸高。
你能乘著一塊口香糖在廚房的水池里沖浪。
但你無法擁抱媽媽，你只能擁抱她的拇指。
你會驚恐地逃離人們的腳丫，
你需要花上一整夜的時間來搬動一支鋼筆，
（而寫下這首詩則須花上十四年-----
因為我只有一寸高）
