While some may stand on tiptoes,
…Zaccheus climbed a tree;
And some have scaled a ladder
…To see the scenery.
The tall have an advantage,
…Like sailors up the mast
Who crawl into the crow’s nest
…To view the sea that’s vast.
Most drew the stick that’s shorter;
…Those with the longest, laugh.
Who? Those who don’t miss beauty –
…The long-legged-necked giraffe.
