Homemade Boat

by Shel Silverstein

Shel Silverstein

This boat that we just built is just fine--
And don't try to tell us it's not.
The sides and the back are divine--
It's the bottom I guess we forgot....




Quotes of the Day

In men of the highest character and noblest genius there is to be found an insatiable desire for honour, command, power, and glory.
• Marcus Tullius Cicero


Poems of the Day
    Henry David Thoreau

    Life is a summer's day
    Life is a summer's day When as it were for aye We sport and play. Anon the night comes on, The ploughman's work is done, And day is gone.
