__The Loser By:Shel Silverstein__

Mama said I'd lose my head If it wasn't fastened on. Today I guess it wasn't 'Cause while playing with my cousin It fell off and rolled away And now it's gone. And now I can't look for it 'Cause my eyes are in it, And I can't call to it 'Cause my mouthis on it (Couldn't hear me anyway 'Cause my ears are on it) Can't even think about it Cause my brain is in it. So i guess I'll sit down On this rock And rest for just a minute...

__Smart By:Shel Silverstein__

My dad gave me one dollar bill 'Cause I'm his smartest son, And I swapped it for two shiny quarters 'Cause two is more than one!

And then I took the quarters And traded them to Lou For three dimes--I guess he don't know That that three is more than two!

Just then, along came old blind Bates And just 'cause he can't see He gave me four nickles for my three dimes, And four is more than three!

And I took the nickles to Hiram Coombs Down at the seed-feed store, And the fool gave me five pennies for them, And five is more than four!

And then I went and showed my dad, And he got red in the cheeks And closed his eyes and shook his head- Too proud of me to speak!
