A Poem By Shel Silverstein...I love him...
It's Dark in Here
I am writing these poems
From inside a lion,
And it's rather dark in here.
So please excuse the handwriting
Which may not be too clear.
But this afternoon by the lion's cage
I'm afraid I got too near.
And I'm writing these lines
From inside a lion,
And it's rather dark in here.
Shel Silverstein

Shel Silverstein is one of my favorite writers - if you haven't read any of his poetry books, you must check them out - he was one of my favorite writers when i was little - and he still is - i recently bought these two again
Where the Sidewalk Ends
A Light in the Attic
hard to stay away from VOX - besides, i just installed DSL on my parents' computer! - so, i really couldn't stay away!
Silverstein is great, isn't he?
Silverstein is awesome! My favorite was always the Boa Constrictor poem.
Oh, I'm being eaten
by a boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor,
and i don't like it--one bit.
Well, what do you know,
it's nibblin' my toe.
Oh, gee,
it's up to my knee.
Oh, my,
it's up to my thigh.
Oh, fiddle,
it's up to my middle.
Oh, heck,
it's up to my neck.
Oh, dread,
it's upmmmmmmmmmmffffffffff...
Shel Silverstein
