Shel Silverstein is a funny poet. I highly recommend his/her poems.

Shel is a guy. Some people are SO uneducated. I've been reading his poems for years. I doubt that someone like you could truly appreciate the deeper meaning of some of his extended metaphors and commentaries on society and how...umm...existentialist...communists are running the world. And...um...piggies....

If you like Shel Silverstein, I highly recommend Jack Prelutsky. "The New Kid on the Block" is one of my favorites of his books (of poems). But he's an even deeper intellectual than Silverstein. I'll quote one of Prelutsky's poems so you can ponder its hidden meanings. Don't worry if it's way above you: that's what education is for.

*Boing* *Boing* *SQUEEK!* *Boing* *Boing* *SQUEEK! A bouncing mouse is in my house it's been there for a week! It bounced right in from nowhere, and quickly settled in....

Umm...since I can't stalk you on Route Y nor can I access the alumni directory, I'll have to settle this here. Chelsea, did you leave my keys in your apartment? It would be most beneficial for Leah if she didn't have to do some more illegal things to get at the kitties.

No, they're in my room, right next to my jewelry box.

What do you mean "my room"? Are we talking California or Utah?
