very cute. I don't know the silverstein you're referring to, so I don't know how much apology is necessary. :)

The first is from Where the Sidewalk Ends and is called "For Sale," and the second, I don't know where it's from, but it goes
Oh what shall I do
Oh what shall I do
This library book is
42 years overdue
I admit that it's mine
But I can't pay the fine!
Oh what shall I do!

just to clarify, as it seems I've give a couple folks heart attacks: I know who shel silverstein is. I don't know the particular poem that you're "ripping off". :)

I'd want to sell anyone who's defining characteristics were "Smiling and biting" too.
