565: How Many, How Much

Jul 22, 2009 22:07

“How Many, How Much”
Shel Silverstein

How many slams in an old screen door?
Depends how loud you shut it.

How many slices in a bread?
Depends how thin you cut it.

How much good inside a day?
Depends how good you live ‘em.

How much love inside a friend?
Depends how much you give ‘em.

It's a repeat, but I love it.

Oh, gosh! I am sorry. I was so tired when I was making the list of poems to be posted. I'll post a new one now.

Oh, no worries! Just thought you'd like to know. Thanks for doing a wonderful job.
