God's Wheel

by Shel Silverstein
GOD says to me with a kind of smile,

"Hey how would you like to be God awhile

And steer the world?"

"Okay," says I, "I'll give it a try.

Where do I set?

How much do I get?

What time is lunch?

When can I quit?"

"Gimme back that wheel," says GOD.

"I don't think you're quite ready YET."

Forgotten Language

by Shel Silverstein
Once I spoke the language of the flowers,

Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,

Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,

And shared a conversation with the houseflyin my bed.

Once I heard and answered all the questionsof the crickets,

And joined the crying of each falling dyingflake of snow,

Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .

How did it go?

How did it go?

Rain

by Shel Silverstein
I opened my eyes

And looked up at the rain,

And it dripped in my head

And flowed into my brain,

And all that I hear as I lie in my bed

Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.

I step very softly,

I walk very slow,

I can't do a handstand--I might overflow,

So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said--

I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head
