159 - Long

Being so tall

Isn’t funny at all

It can be a life hack

But it breaks your back

These days it’s not cool

When you’re out at the shops

To spend your time

Looking down ladies’ tops

And it’s a bit of a pain

Being a lank like myself

When people ask me

To reach the high shelf

But I don’t think I’d change

This lofty height

I still think it’s cool

To be so upright
