Ickle Me Pickle Me Tickle me too!

I love Shel Silverstein poetry ... I always have! When ever I'm feeling bad, all I have to do is think of one of his silly or profound poems and I can't help but smile! Let me share a few of my favorites:

HUG O WAR

I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.

Warning

Inside everybody's nose
There lives a sharp-toothed snail.
So if you stick your finger in,
He may bite off your nail.
Stick it farther up inside,
And he may bite your ring off.
Stick it all the way, and he
May bite the whole darn thing off.

MY BEARD

"My beard grows down to my toes,
I never wears no clothes,
I wraps my hair
Around my bare,
And down the road I goes."

RAIN

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.

Floaties In My Head

Or Random thoughts:


I have a few problems with money:

First, a sticker fetish ...no, it's true! I will buy them, and buy them and buy them until I have a collection that would make a scrap booker on steroids look anemic!

Is there a 12 step program for stickers?

Second, coupons ...coupons are a good thing, aren't they? Except that I buy crap I don't need with money better spent elsewhere all because I got it for 50% off...or 40% off or whatever! Why can't I get a coupon for 50% off my heat bill! Now that would be something special!

Third, sales ... I usually get a serious buzz just by reading the word "clearance" ... seriously, I just need to see those bright red stickers at Walmart and I am a goner ....yesterday I bought a package of T pins for cryin' out loud! What in the name of creativity am I going to do with a package of T pins?
I also bought two journals only because they were 80% off! What is wrong with me people!!!!????

Oh well, this is my life ... the good stuff must be on back order ... until then I will man the sales!
