Shel Silverstein’s A Light in the Attic
A Light in the Attic
There’s a light on in the attic.
Though the house is dark and shuttered,
I can see a flickerin’ flutter,
And I know what it’s about.
There’s a light on in the attic.
I can see it from the outside,
And I know you’re on the inside…
Lookin’ out.
Tryin’ on Clothes
…I tried on the summer sun,
felt good,
nice and warm – knew it would.
Tried to grass beneath bare feet,
Felt neat.
Finally, finally felt well dressed,
Nature’s clothes just fit me best.
