More Shel

Here's another little piece of wonderful from Shel Silverstein;

MA AND GOD

GOD GAVE US FINGERS - MA SAYS, "USE YOUR FORK."

GOD GAVE US VOICES - MA SAYS, "DON'T SCREAM."

MA SAYS EAT BROCCOLI, CEREAL AND CARROTS

BUT GOD GAVE US TASTEYS FOR MAPLE ICED CREAM

GOD GAVE US FINGERS - MA SAYS, "USE YOUR HANKY."

GOD GAVE US PUDDLES - MA SAYS, "DON'T SPLASH."

MA SAYS, "BE QUIET, YOUR FATHER IS SLEEPING."

BUT GOD GAVE US GARBAGE CAN COVERS TO CRASH

GOD GAVE US FINGERS - MA SAYS, "PUT YOUR GLOVES ON."

GOD GAVE US RAINDROPS - MA SAYS, "DON'T GET WET."

MA SAYS BE CAREFUL, AND DON'T GET TO NEAR TO

THOSE STRANGE LOVELY DOGS THAT GOD GAVE US TO PET.

GOD GAVE US FINGERS - MA SAYS, "GO WASH'EM."

BUT GOD GAVE US COAL BINS AND NICE DIRTY BODIES.

AND I AIN'T TOO SMART, BUT THERE'S ONE THING FOR CERTAIN--

EITHER MA'S WRONG OR ELSE GOD IS.
