A midget

Christopher Kaye Le Fleming

Just a span and half a span

From head to heel was this little man.

Scarcely a capful of small bones

Raised up erect this Midget once.

Yet not a knuckle was askew;

Inches for feet God made him true;

And something handsome put between

His coal-black hair and beardless chin.

But now, forsooth, with mole and mouse,

He keeps his own small darkened house.
