Default land of giants

Hey, I found this kayaker's dream to be similar to mine (written by
another Quixote charging at the giants!) Here it is...

land of giants

Small children walk in a land of Giants. Giants of course can't always
see what's going on so close to the ground. It can be tough to get a
giants attention. Giants are busy with GIANT problems. Giants have
GIANT pressures and GIANT distractions. Funny that they wonder why the
little people seems to talk loud, repeat questions, tug, pull and
sometimes just go crazy right when the giants are in the middle of
something of GIANT consequence. The problem you see, is the clouds.
The giant can't see below them and the little people can't see above.
It can be hard sometimes for a giant to understand or care about the
problems of the little people. They can seem so foreign. The little
people often just can't see the giants problems. But one thing they
know, something they learned from Jack, if you want a giant's
attention sometimes you have to steal his harp. Of course by then the
giant is angry, blustering and booming, and tripping over bean stalks
still stupidly unaware of what the little person wanted in the first
place. Remember Jack? Before all hell broke loose he was just hungry.

I woke up this morning thinking of giants and little people. Strange I
know. If you're a giant in little person's world, do me a favor, Look
down.
