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，便能骑着一条小虫去上学。
蚂蚁哭泣时的一滴泪将成为你的游泳池。
一点蛋糕屑能变成一场盛宴，
足够你至少吃上七天，
一只跳蚤就会是一头可怕的猛兽，
倘若你只有一寸高。
倘若你只有一寸高，便能穿越门下的缝隙，
而要行至商店则需要花上一个月的时间，
一小撮绒毛能变成你的温床，
你能在一根蜘蛛丝上玩秋千，
头上戴着顶针作为头盔，
倘若你只有一寸高。
你能乘着一块口香糖在厨房的水池里冲浪。
但你无法拥抱妈妈，你只能拥抱她的拇指。
你会惊恐地逃离人们的脚丫，
你需要花上一整夜的时间来搬动一支钢笔，
（而写下这首诗则须花上十四年-----
因为我只有一寸高）
