Come Skating

by Shel Silverstein

Shel Silverstein

They said come skating;
They said it's so nice.
They said come skating;
I'd done it twice.
They said come skating;
It sounded nice….
I wore roller-
They meant ice.

    Blue Moles
    by Sylvia Plath
    1 They're out of the dark's ragbag, these two Moles dead in the pebbled rut, Shapeless as flung gloves, a few feet apart -- Blue suede a dog or fox has chewed.
