"Listen to the Mustn’ts"
Listen to the MUSTN’TS, child,
Listen to the DON’TS
Listen to the SHOULDN’TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON’TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me -
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
1974 Shel Silverstein
"My Love in Her Attire"
My love in her attire doth show her wit,
It doth so well become her:
For every season she hath dressing fit,
For winter, spring, and summer
No beauty she doth miss,
When all her robes are on;
But Beauty’s self she is,
When all her robes are gone.
