  9. I’m Shrinking By Jack Prelutsky I am shrinking, I am shrinking, I am shrinking very fast, And I’m thinking as I’m shrinking that this day could be my last. I don’t have a single inkling why I’m suffering this fate. Now I’m smaller than a cabbage… is it something that I ate? I am shrinking, I am shrinking, I am dwindling away, and I hardly need to tell you this is not a normal day. Now I’m smaller than a pickle, than a pencil, than a prune, and it’s patently apparent I will vanish pretty soon. I am shrinking, I am shrinking. I am smaller than a bean, and unless there’s a reversal, I will exit from the scene. I’m receding every second, now I’m smaller than a flea a midge, a mite, a molecule, and now I’m nothing…see?
