　　One Inch Tall

　　If you were only one inch tall, you'd ride a worm to school.

　　The teardrop of a crying and would be your swimming pool.

　　A crumb of cake would be a feast

　　And last you seven days at least,

　　A flea would be a frightening beast

　　If you were one inch tall.

　　If you were only one inch tall, you'd walk beneath the door,

　　And it would take about a month to get down to the store.

　　A bit of fluff would be your bed,

　　You'd swing upon a spider's thread,

　　And wear a thimble on your head

　　If youwere one inch tall.

　　you'd surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum

　　you could't hug your mama, you'd just have to hug her thumb.

　　you'd run from people's feet in fright,

　　To move a pen would take all night,

　　( This poem took fourteen years to write ---

　　Cause I'm just one inch tall )

　　一寸高

　　倘若你只有一寸高，便能骑着一条小虫去上学。

　　蚂蚁哭泣时的一滴泪将成为你的游泳池。

　　一点蛋糕屑能变成一场盛宴，

　　足够你至少吃上七天，

　　一只跳蚤就会是一头可怕的猛兽，

　　倘若你只有一寸高。

　　倘若你只有一寸高，便能穿越门下的缝隙，

　　而要行至商店则需要花上一个月的时间，

　　一小撮绒毛能变成你的温床，

　　你能在一根蜘蛛丝上玩秋千，

　　头上戴着顶针作为头盔，

　　倘若你只有一寸高。

　　你能乘着一块口香糖在厨房的水池里冲浪。

　　但你无法拥抱妈妈，你只能拥抱她的拇指。

　　你会惊恐地逃离人们的脚丫，

　　你需要花上一整夜的时间来搬动一支钢笔，

　　(而写下这首诗则须花上十四年-----

　　因为我只有一寸高)
