Tall Tree City |
He was taller than them all
Everyone looked up to Timothy Tall
His parents, his friends, the great and the small
No one was as tall in all of Tall Tree city.
The city where he lived.
Timothy looked down upon all those dwelling below him
and said to himself
The city where he lived.
Timothy looked down upon all those dwelling below him
and said to himself
Ha, Ha My name is Timothy the tall of Tall tree city
No one is as tall as me, oh what a pity!
I stand like a cedar tree higher than the rest
I stand like a cedar tree higher than the rest
I can see above the city the birds and their nests'
Then along came Taz, Taz the taller
Then along came Taz, Taz the taller
and said look at you Timothy you're much smaller.
Everyone in the city looks up to me
Beyond every building above every tree
Taller than the heights where the skies are blue
from the top of my head to the bottom of my shoe
You may be taller than tallest of the tall
but compared to Taz Taller you're real small.
Then shortly thereafter came another
who made Timothy and Taz like a little brother
Taz and Timothy said don't hurt us please
We can't see your face we come up to your knees
Our names are Taz taller and Timothy Tall
Until you came we were having a ball
We were the tallest of them all until you came
We don't even know you what is your name
I'm Thomas the Tallest of Big blue city
no one is as tall as me oh what a pity!
Don't take this the wrong way it isn't a tease
I can't hear you that well you come up to my knees
So take a deep breath and shout very loud
and let your words rumble beyond every cloud
Inhale deeply and let your voice bellow
then stand like a man and speak to your fellow
This is unbearable you're just to tall
next to you we're the smallest of the small
Then Taz and Timothy went home to play
and Thomas the Tallest went along his way.

DeleteYes, that is what children do - compare and contrast and then go home to play. :)
