GROWING TALLER by Russ McKay

I know I’m getting taller
By the markings on the door
I can see how short I used to be
By the marks Mom made before
My older sister’s marks are there
They seem so way up high
But Mom says Sissie’s were the same
As my marks when she was five
I need to get a ladder
So I can climb real high
And put my own mark on the door
At least I oughta try
Then it wouldn’t take so long
To be taller than my Sis
I’d be as tall as I could reach
I’d be as tall as this
