Bigger than my Daddy

When he was my age, the world economy totaled $9.74trillion.

Though it seemed impossible

by gazing at my hand, engulfed by his

hands like mountains, exactly 6ft of man.

Cheekily exclaiming without a hint of proof.

"One day daddy, I'm gonna be bigger than you!"

Grinning ear to ear, jumping to appear taller.

with only 18 teeth, front ones were loose.

the world economy now produces $60.6trillion.

and I stand six foot two.

It seems a lot of other boys

aspired to be bigger than their daddies.

too.
