 Giant Children

Psst! Listen very closely,
There’s something you should know.
It’s all about a giant school
Where giant children go.

Pages turn at giant speed
As giant children learn to read.
And giant brains are rally quick
When working with arithmetic.

They pound the beat on giant drums
And finger paint with giant thumbs,

                                                                             Sing giant songs with giant lips
                                                                            And boogie-dnace with giant hips,

                                                                            Giant shoes on giant feet
                                                                            And gaint giggles when they meet.
                                                                            I watch them hour after hour,
                                                                           Giant kids with giant power.

                                                                           I’m just the classroom hamster
                                                                           But I promise you it’s true-
                                                                           This is the school where giants go,
                                                                           And the giant kids are You!
