"Put Something In" by Shel Silverstein

Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,

Do a loony-goony dance
& #39;Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain& #39;t been there before.

I">https://poets.org/poem/inst... wasn& #39;t planning to double any poets in this thread, but I went for a walk for the first time in days today, and I& #39;m really feeling these words.
