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
