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!
