How Long is a Poem?

It can be:

As long as a child’s widest smile

As long as the teeth on a crocodile

As long as the Eiffel Tower is tall

As long as your nose (and that’s not long at all)

As long as my sister’s ponytail

As long as a snail’s slimy trail

As long as a queue at a bus stop

As long as a sausage from the butcher’s shop

As long as a hundred anaconda snakes

‘Cos a poem can be as long as it…

As long as it…

As long as it…

As long as it…
