Size circumscribes — it has no room
For petty furniture —
The Giant tolerates no Gnat
For Ease of Gianture —
Repudiates it, all the more —
Because intrinsic size
Ignores the possibility
Of Calumnies — or Flies.
Size circumscribes — it has no room
For petty furniture —
The Giant tolerates no Gnat
For Ease of Gianture —
Repudiates it, all the more —
Because intrinsic size
Ignores the possibility
Of Calumnies — or Flies.
