More Shel Silverstein for that a%$

Ations
If we meet and I say, "Hi,"
That's a salutation.
If you ask me how I feel,
That's a consideration.
If we stop and talk awhile,
That's a conversation.
If we understand each other,
That's communication.
If we argue, scream and fight,
That's an altercation.
If later we apologize,
That's reconsiliation.
If we help each other home,
That's cooperation.
And all these ations added up
Make civilization.

Put Something In
Draw a crazy picture,
Whtie a nutty poem,
sing a mumble-gumble song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before.

LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen of the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me--
Anything can happen, child, ANYTHING can be.
