Lament For Tall People (Fun Poem 11)

The world is filled with short people, who forget there are tall people like me. For when they build a door of six foot, they forget all about the poor old persons, who are only a short six foot three. To get in and out I have to duck, or get a lump on my forehead, seeing stars in the process, while I am picking myself off the floor. It is either that or its down on my hands and knees, to crawl in and out the door. Oh, now that may sound funny I agree. However, it is not so funny if you are a short tall person like me. So to all those short builder out there, remember when you measure seven foot, that your tape measure is not a foot off the floor. I went to a fortune teller, to have the bumps on my head read. She said, “Avoid low doors, as there are too many bumps there to be read.” So all you short builders take note of what I said. Raise the top of the door, so I can stop bumping my head.
