Spide Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 This is one of my favourite poem by Shel Silverstein. Hope every member will like this. One Inch Tall 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). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please write your opinion about this poem!!!
alice29 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 this is a funny poem, thanks for sharing it here. :smile: but if i were an inch tall i can't ride a worm to school because i'm afraid of it lol. :biggrin:
pjbabia Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Funny indeed. But how can you ride a worm to school when the way to school seems miles and miles away. You'll be late by then if that is the case...heheh agree with you alice. :)
neng Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 i find it quite amusing :) thanks for sharing it here
Andry Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 @alice Yes, it's funny poem and about worm, I don't like it too. I am afraid of that animals hahaha...
alice29 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Funny indeed. But how can you ride a worm to school when the way to school seems miles and miles away. You'll be late by then if that is the case...heheh agree with you alice. :) well good thing it doesnt said anything about how far the school is pj lol. they just used worm so maybe the school is just near. maybe they can replace it with ants. :biggrin:
Andry Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 @alice If the school is near, you don't need to ride anything alice hahaha... You can walk on foot or if you wanted to use ants, so you must use sugar to invite them hahaha...
pjbabia Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 If I am a small as one inch. I would not walk neither ride a worm nor an ant. I would use the remote controlled airplane.. hahahha.. that way i would reach destination faster and more effeciently. LOL
neng Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 If I am a small as one inch. I would not walk neither ride a worm nor an ant. I would use the remote controlled airplane.. hahahha.. that way i would reach destination faster and more effeciently. LOL the question is who will control the plane for you?
Andry Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 @pjbabia If you are small and you wanted to ride remote control airplrane, that was good idea but it was risky if the pilot of your remote control can't fly it well :D
alice29 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 but you know andry, people sometimes still want to ride because they're too lazy to walk lol. :rolleyes: and they want to look cool with their friends. i don't think it's cool enough riding a worm lol. you're right with ants i will need a lot of sugar to make them appear. :smile:
pjbabia Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 @Andry, since we are talking "magic" (human as small as one inch) then let us just imagine that the remote control is as small as 1 millimeter, by that we control the toy airplane from the plane it self.. pretty clever huh? heheheh
Andry Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 @pjbabia ...hahahaha... You had great imagination friend, that was hard to believe if there is remote control as small as 1 milimeter. It will be hard to make it, who wanted to make that remote control :D
pjbabia Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 @Andry, the question is how did we become so small as 1 inch.. magic? so the same thing will happen to the remote control...hehehe no one needs to make it.. or maybe we (as a 1-inch-man) will make the remote ourselves...
Andry Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 @pjbabia hahaha... If we can make 1 milimeter remote control, so how did we find the raw to make it as we are too small... It's better to use magic so our remote control, cars, planes, and anything turned into small :D
pjbabia Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 no andry, im not talking about making a remote control using raw materials or using tools.. im talking about making remote control with the use of magic.. well we are talking about magic.. so we can use magic to fly the remote control...hahehehehe
alice29 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 why talk of remote controlled cars when you can have mini-cars that you can ride in your own. :rolleyes: it's funny because even if i'm an inch-tall i'm still thinking of expensive things. :biggrin:
