My Eyes Are Small

My eyes are as small as grapes.

My hair is as brown as wood

     and as short as dog’s fur.

My voice can be like a mouse

     or as loud as a dog’s bark.

My laugh sounds like

     Alvin and the Chipmunks.

My smile is as small as a rubber band.

When I run a lot

     my heart beats hard like a drum.
