Stop Thief!

by Shel Silverstein

Shel Silverstein

Policeman, policeman,
Help me please.
Someone went and stole my knees.
I'd chase him down but I suspect
My feet and legs just won't connect.

Quotes of the Day

He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet,
though he has never written a line in all his life.
