And Now for Something Excessively Cheerful

I ran across a Shel Silverstein poem the other day and it reminded me how much I enjoy them. He wrote The Giving Tree and collaborated on plays with David Mamet (and how did that work), but his books of poetry, A Light in the Attic and Where the Sidewalk Ends, are the treasures as far as I'm concerned. Just the thing if you've got the winter blues. Here is a sample:

Bear In There by Shel Silverstein
There's a Polar Bear
In our Frigidaire--
He likes it 'cause it's cold in there.
With his seat in the meat
And his face in the fish
And his big hairy paws
In the buttery dish
