Who Does She Think She Is...., di Shel Silverstein

Shel Silverstein

Who Does She Think She Is....

I asked the Zebra:

Are you black with white stripes?

Or white with black stripes?

And the zebra asked me:

Are you good with bad habits?

Or are you bad with good habits?

Are you noisy with quiet times?

Or are you quiet with noisy times?

Are you happy with some sad days?

Or are you sad with some happy days?

Are you neat with some sloppy ways?

Or are you sloppy with some neat ways?

And on and on and on and on

And on and on he went.

I’ll never ask a zebra

About stripes

Again
