“I'm Reginald Clark, I'm afraid of the dark
So please do not close this book on me.”
― Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends

“If we meet and I say, "Hi,"
That's a salutation.
If you ask me how I feel,
That's a consideration.
If we stop and talk awhile,
That's a conversation.
If we understand each other,
That's communication.
If we argue, scream and fight,
That's an altercation.
If later we apologize,
That's a reconciliation.
If we help each other home,
That's cooperation.
And all these ations added up
Make civilization.

(And if I say this is a wonderful poem, Is that exaggeration?)”
― Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic

“She had blue skin,
And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue their whole life through,
Then passed right by-
And never knew”
― Shel Silverstein

“Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
And if I die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my toys will break.
So none of the other kids can use 'em....
Amen.”
― Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic
