Five-Foot Girl In A Six-Foot World

I’m five feet and two inches tall
It’s really not that much at all
In fact, I think I’m rather small-
At least it’s not so far to fall.

Some say cute, others ‘petite,’
Dinky, elfin, small and neat.
Hate the thought of being sweet-
Would rather be of the aesthete.

High-heeled shoes, stilts, wings,
You name it- I’ve tried everything!
As one of the ‘vertically challenged’ I think
It’s best if you ‘normal-sized’ people just shrink!

A very dear friend of mine is a stately 4 ft 10, but inside she's a giant. :--)
