It’s Hot
By Shel Silverstein

It’s hot!
I can’t get cool,
I’ve drunk a quart of lemonade.
I think I’ll take my shoes off
And sit around in the shade.

It’s hot!
My back is sticky,
The sweat rolls down my chin.
I think I’ll take my clothes off
And sit around in my skin.

It’s hot!
I’ve tried with ‘lectric fans,
And pools and ice cream cones.
I think I’ll take my skin off
And sit around in my bones.

It’s still hot!

How much do I love that you posted a Shel Silverstein poem? A LOT A LOT. <3

HI. :)

(I need to find the 'Sick' one on the net. I used to be able to recite a lot of it.)

I'm not sure if I know that one. The only ones I remember are the one I posted and really I just remembered the part about him taking off his skin and the one where the babysitter literally sat on the baby.

Hello.

Yes, that's it!

Did you ever read the one where someone ate the baby?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

It's possible. It's been a long assed time since I've read any of his work, I mean 'cept for the one I posted tonight.

I can't help myself: 'Dingo ate my baby crazy?'

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I'm missing the reference but I feel like I shouldn't be. Woe.

Maybe give it a cold water enema instead to cool it down.
