Morning!

New Thread

The sleeve had opened on the seam,
But still the cloth was good.
Oh well this shirt is ten years old,
But fix it, yes I should.
I get the needle, look around,
And try to clear my head.
What else was there I needed here,
Oh yes I know, New Thread.

The Anteater

By Shel Silverstein

"A genuine anteater,"
The pet man told me dad.
Turned out, it was an aunt eater,
And now my uncle's mad!

Bear In There

by Shel Silverstein

There's a Polar Bear
In our Frigidaire--
He likes it 'cause it's cold in there.
With his seat in the meat
And his face in the fish
And his big hairy paws
In the buttery dish,
He's nibbling the noodles,
He's munching the rice,
He's slurping the soda,
He's licking the ice.
And he lets out a roar
If you open the door.
And it gives me a scare
To know he's in there--
That Polary Bear
In our Fridgitydaire.

The Thread Bear

I have a Thread Bear in my room. He prowls there when I’m not.
He’s messed up all my clothes and now he’s wearing out my cot.
He lurks inside my closet. He’s made a den in there.
His fur is likely made of dust, I see it everywhere.

He steals the threads from collars, he’s opened up my seams.
I’m sure that he’s responsible for those unseemly dreams.
I tried to capture and evict him with new clothes inside a box,
But so far he has eluded me. I think he picks the locks.

I’ve joined the Nudist Colony so I can shed him from my life,
Before I get too bald from all the stresses and the strife.
At least there’s one advantage to my living in that place,
I won’t be too ashamed because of clothes to show my face.
