The Inevitable Comedown

Being not yet ten feet tall
I must do the 'as if ' dance
looking down upon is frowned upon
but, Oh,my! I'm quite enhanced

The 'as if ' club is crowded
with 'as if ' dancers galore
shifty stilted hoofers
are tearing up the floor

Everyone seems 'as if ' happy
as for me? I'm having a ball
feeling ten feet tall is appealing
but it sure is a long way to fall
