Shel Silverstein

Baby , We got all the time in the world
So why don't we just take it nice and slow? 
We got everything we need 
To plant a lovin' seed 
And all the time we need to watch it grow. 

There's a Polar Bear
In our Frigidaire -
He likes it 'cause it's cold in there.

Once I spoke the language of the flowers,
Once I understand each word the caterpillar said,
Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed.

When the light turns green, you go. When the light turns red, you stop. But what do you do when the light turns blue with orange and lavender spots?

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.
