Not only am I 6'4" tall, I have several positions where people look up to me. These include public school administration, public school coach, father, husband, et al. My intent in this poem is not to complain about acting in giant ways. I wouldn't have it any other way. Rather it is finding fault as to how many others don't expect much from themselves but expect their leaders to be perfect.
THE GIANT 'Tis hell to be the giant In a Lilliputian world Where all expect giants To act only in giant ways
