PAD Countdown response 29-1


Losing Pieces
By Shel Silverstein

Talked my head off
Worked my tail off
Cried my eyes out
Walked my feet off
Sang my heart out
So you see,
There’s really not much left of me.


Dear Mr. Silverstein
By Connie L. Peters

Read Stephen Cove’s 7 Habits
and you’ll learn how to get ahead.
Buy a Paul Bunyan book
and you’ll own a tale.
Get an old potato
and you’ll grow eyes.
Read a metrical poem
and you’ll acquire feet.
Give to the needy
and you’ll have a heart.
And then,
you’ll have your pieces back again.
