Maybe it's my perspective, always sitting down, but I've noticed that lithe girls are generally much taller than they appear. Let me correct that. They appear taller because they are lithe, even though they may be shorter than another unlithe. In every case I look up to them… Especially because they have kept in such good shape and/or because of my perspective--way down there.
In any case I'm certainly looking up at you from swamp level, a beautiful nymph dancing through the willows with your hair all akimbo in the wind. There is no finer sight in the marsh by lake.
