Stretch McGee - a Poem

Tweet

Stretch McGee A sight the home crowd liked to see - basketball with Stretch McGee. Slow as mud his feet would run, but at the basket, Stretch had fun. He stood on legs that were so short they both seemed built for nonsupport. Atop of short legs - really small - Stretch seemed not for basketball. But in his body was one gland that grew his two arms oh so grand. The length of each was at four feet so, scoring points was "easy street." Stretch just let go over the net. In went the ball - two points he'd get. * * * * * * * * * * Well now. I began this session just playing around with my newly downloaded update of the image-editing program, "Paint.net." (Yes, it really has a dot-net as part of its name.) One of its commands in the "Distorts" tab is "Bulge." So, I thought I'd play with that command for a while and see where it might take me. It figured that if you can make something bulge in one direction, you might be able to make it longer in the other direction. So it worked out that way, indeed it did. There I was using bulge to make things longer. What good was that? I could not think of anything to do with such a command other than to write a dumb poem to go with a picture in which the "bulging" was put to work. That's my excuse. What, pray tell, might be your excuse for reading that poem? (Only kidding you...) Image source: Pixabay dot com, Edited by Gus Kilthau
