Tall tower
Tall tower
by Joel Howard
Pride is fine up to a line
Like a kid whose tower is big
Pride will rise for a time
Until, too big, it returns on him
You may build a tower tall
Tall tower, tower tall
You may build a tower tall
The taller the shakier
Too tall, too tall!
For that tall tower ought to show
The wise, the prudent
They stay low
The lower the better
Now you know!
