It's late. I have to get up early tomorrow. A light poem. Yup. This fits the bill. Shel Silverstein is a master of light verse.
It's funny. It's cute. It's long(ish) and skinny. Looks like a boa (a stunted one, maybe). It uses rhyme, true. But to such comedic effect that's it's perfect. Love.
And we're out. I do adore light verse for being so darn light. It makes you feel better and is so easy to read that you don't consider how hard it was to write, but in this one, due to the forethought required for the rhyme scheme to work, you can see the skill it took to compose. Way to go, Shel.
Favorite line: "Oh, gee,/It's up to my knee."
