The tallest man in the world lives in China,
once he stuck his long arm down a dolphin’s
throat and fished out a plastic bag and saved
the sea mammal’s life, made him famous too.
At the deep end of the pool swimming-pool
the tall man’s shoulders is above the water,
his girlfriend can only do that at the shallow
end. She doesn’t mind, at home- when he sits
on the floor watching TV- she sits on a chair,
and they are almost of the same height. No,
don’t ask me that, I don’t want to know, one
shouldn’t even speculate; but his girlfriend is
from Tibet, she used to climb steep mountains
and ride yaks as a child.
