"Put Something In" by Shel Silverstein
Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-grumble song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before.

I wasn't planning to double any poets in this thread, but I went for a walk for the first time in days today, and I'm really feeling these words.
