the loser

Mama said I'd lose my head

if it wasn't fastened on.

Today I guess it wasn't

'cause while playing with my cousin

it fell off and rolled away

and now it's gone.

And I can't look for it

'cause my eyes are in it,

and I can't call to it

'cause my mouth is on it

(couldn't hear me anyway

'cause my ears are on it),

can't even think about it

'cause my brain is in it.

So I guess I'll sit down

on this rock

and rest for just a minute...

i was reading Where the Sidewalk Ends the other night,

when i got to this one. i could NOT stop laughing..

Shel Silverstien is pure genius.
