Near my house on Lenin Place
Lives a giant, Tom the Tower.
This tremendous giant's pace
Makes the other giants cower
Grown-ups call him Comrade Thomas,
Children call him Uncle Tom.
Tom conceals the sunlight from us;
When he treads it's like a bomb.
Tom is very much respected:
Children always shout "hooray"
When the giant is detected
Down the street a mile away.
Legs he has like trunks of trees;
Tom can walk for miles with ease.
Buying boots, he always asks:
"Give me Number Twenty, please!"
Tom must wear a special cap -
Those for sale in shop would snap.
Socks he wears are of a size
Fit for fifty other guys.
Tom tries on a pair of trousers
Sewn with expert workmanship -
All the neighbors in their houses
Hear the giant garment rip.
When they see this whopping giant
Look across a garden wall,
All the dogs become defiant,
Barking "Well that thief has gall."
At a dinner Tom requests his
Host to give him double fare,
When he lies in bed he rests his
Toes upon the farthest chair.
When he sees a show it's war -
Those behind begin to yell:
"Tom, be seated on the floor
You can see there just as well."
Thomas gets admission free
To a match or sporting fixture:
Gate attendants tell the trickster
"You're a champion, we can see."
Tom can reach to any height,
So for him it's not a feat
To remove a fellow's kite
From the wires above the street.
Tom lifts children high above to
Watch the May Day demonstrations:
That's because the children love to
See the army of the nation.
Tom indeed is much respected.
Tom is never known to frown.
Tom's loud football is expected
All the day by all the town.
"Never once did Tom forget us,"
Every boy has told his dad.
If he sneezes, there's a chorus
"Don't catch cold - that would be bad."
Tom the Tower always rises
While it's yet am early hour.
(That means health, he realizes)
Straightaway he takes a shower.
If his teeth he didn't brush
Tom from very shame would blush.
All are soaked in perspiration;
Clouds are absent from the sky,
Uncle Tom takes recreation,
Bidding work and cares "Goodbye."
