.
Hazel wasn't very tall,
Only five foot three.
An excellent example
of embarrassment was she.
But when she saw the advert,
It cheered her up somehow -
"To be three inches taller,
Just send us ten pounds now".
So Hazel sent the tenner,
With hopes extremely high,
And patiently awaited
Their magical reply.
It arrives a fortnight later,
But upsets her when she sees
Two blocks of wood, three inches thick,
With instructions....."Stand on these"!
With apologies to J.M. Robertson
