I received the book of poems, “Every Thing On It” by Shel Silverstein for Christmas. As usual, some are funny, some just rhyme, some are clever, and some make you think.
There is one poem that struck me as particularly good. It has an illustration of two children walking away from each other. Each has a giant mask on his/her face.
Masks
She had blue skin,
And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue
Their whole life through,
Then passed right by –
And never knew.
