The Jewish Giant stomps along
And kicks a passing cat.
A bird attempts a happy song
And gets a scowl for that.

"Oh, woe is me!" the Giant cries,
A tower of despair.
"A giant grows until he dies,
While others point and stare!"

His mother says, "I sometimes think
I wish he weren't so smart--
That as he grew, his brain would shrink
And so protect his heart.

"But Eddie catches every glance
Of every passer-by
And knows he'll never get the chance
To be an average guy.

"Instead, he stars in monster flicks
And circus side-show acts,
Where people badger him for tricks
And pester him for facts.

"'How tall?' the children want to know,
'And how much can you eat?
And how much larger will you grow,
And can we see your feet?'

"And Eddie smilingly complies
And makes a giant joke,
While welling in his giant eyes
Are tears he tries to choke."
