How tall is Michael D?

I was in Claremorris this evening at about 5pm. A monsterously oversized white coach pulled up into the square. It was absolutely massive, white, gleamingly clean & had an almighty sized picture of Michael D.Higgins on the side of it.

Two speakers on the roof projected the whispy voice of Michael D around the small Mayo town streets... promises of how a fine President he would make and such like things.

It was as if a giant Michael D spaceship had just landed from the sky. An elderly couple stopped & watched as the automated doors opened up. I was expecting a fanfare....

..... but instead, out stepped a tiny little man with long strands of white hair hanging from parts of his head and blowing in the wind.

The couple looked at him, then walked on.

Michael looked around him... hoping, probably for some kind of welcome, some kind of connection with human beings. His little eyes searched the surrounding area, but apart from the elderly couple - who by now were just a small blimp on the horizon - there was no-one.

No-one but Michael & his big, massive, white, gleaming, shiny bus with the picture of his head, probably 5000 times the size of his own in the entire square.

He waited another minute, then turned, got back on his bus & was driven off into the misty grey evening.

So, to answer your question OP... he's quite small.
