Knee High To A Grasshopper
David C Garland


Knee high to a grasshopper

by D.C Garland

Knee high to a grasshopper, that�s how I used to be,
But I�m much taller now that I�ve reached sixty-three,
My family�s genes determined the pace at which I grew
Trouble is they didn�t work until I turned sixty two.

It matters not that I am wee as Scots are apt to say
For I am English, through and through, and wee I do all day.
And that�s because my bladder�s small, incontinent that�s me,
Without warning, clear the way, for the nearest lavatory.

Being small and diuretic is a combination I deplore
Instead of Pinot Grigio, I�ve switched to Pinot More.
Rather than a pint of beer to satisfy my thirst,
I sip a little eau-de-vie until I�m fit to burst.

Small is beautiful I like to say and one I oft recite
Whenever someone�s being rude about my obvious lack of height.
I merely smile, stand up straight and look them in the knees.
From way down here it�s hard to see the forest for the trees.
