Six and Fifty

Six is the footage
A measure of men

Though few will argue
At five foot six
Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker
Would rough you up nice

Still, when looking at boots
The question always arises

What does it feel like
To be tall with a small umbrella?

At center point
We are all unsteady
In one direction
Maybe more

When giving directions
To say Jack Dempsey or
Jack Johnson

You should squint appropriately
For the sun is surely blinding
When looking straight up

Unless it's raining
Take cover
