What is a midget? (Lyric) by tolstoyleo
My daughter asked me the other day: "Dad, what is a midget?"
I scratched my head and all of a sudden my feet started to fidget.
"A midget is a small kind dear." And that is what I told her.
"So am I a midget?", she then asked - I had to pick her up and hold her.
"Sort of, honey, but not quite - a midget is your size their entire life.
"
"But why?" She asked.
"Oh my!" I said.
"Let's ask the dictionary, it's bound to know!"
Past the L's and to the O's, I skimmed too far God only knows...
I found the M's it began to worsen
A midget is a very small person
So then I was asked the recursive question, "Am I a midget?"
"what's your intentions!?!"
"I just want to know that's all. I'm curious!"
"Girl - you're starting to make me furious!"
Eventually she was happy with my explanation,
I started to have a relieved sensation.
If she is happy I can finally work - maybe...
Until she asked, "Dad how do midgets make a baby?"
here we go again...
