How big is my giant friend?
I'll see if I can explain.
When he lays down to sleep,
He's longer than a plane.
You stand on his shoulder
To whisper to him.
For him a toothpick
Is a whole tree limb.
If you need to ride the river,
But lack a raft or canoe,
Just ask this friendly giant
If you can borrow a shoe.
When he tries to jog,
Buildings start to shake.
People ask each other,
'Is this an earthquake? '
Every summer day
To help stay cool,
He drinks enough lemonade
To fill a swimming pool!
He hauls his lunch
On an old river barge.
How big is my giant friend?
I'd say he's pretty large!
