Anteater

by Shel Silverstein

Shel Silverstein

"A genuine anteater,"
The pet man told me dad.
Turned out, it was an aunt eater,
And now my uncle's mad!

    The Measure Of Grace
    by Patience Worth
    Grace me, oh Lord with no distinctions. Give me understanding, and let me deal it. Give me no justice which is Not weighed against my own. Give me, oh God that faith Which I bestow upon Thee.
