Small Boy Grown Tall

I met a man I knew from years ago He shook me by the hand and said hello But would you believe me him I did not know Years changes one and years changed Timmy Joe. I felt embarrassed had to ask his name I'm Tim Joe Ryan says he the very same Timmy who was your pal in school going time When we were young long years before our prime. The man had changed in school days he was small It seemed he'd not grow over five foot tall But here he was now standing six foot four Eight inches towering over me or more. In school going days I'd four inches on him He was the smallest in the class room Tim He was so small so very small indeed That the nickname we put on him was the weed. Just goes to show how can one ever say That the smallest boy in your class room today Could not one day be the tallest one of all And like Timmy Joe stand over six foot tall.
