MY GIANT FRIEND by Russ McKay

I have a close friend who’s a giant
And as buddies we’re very compliant
He’s eleven foot two
And he has a great view
Always peaceful… he’s never defiant
Since we can’t play like normal friends do
Our size differences we adjust to
He’s huge and I’m small
But we sure have a ball
A true friendship enjoyed by few
And when we throw baseballs around
Out on the school’s big playground
We can’t throw back and forth
It’s more South and North
I have to throw up and him down
Some games we don’t play at all
Like hide and seek and seesaw
He’s too easy to find
And I’m much too inclined
‘Cause he’s not only big he’s real tall
People watch us wherever we go
His head’s way up high and mine low
I have to shout up as we walk
Or we just couldn’t talk
And my walking is fast and his slow
But the problem with being so tall
Giants never stop growing at all
Soon…he won’t find me in crowds
With his head in the clouds
Then talking’s a long distance call
