Star Thrower Farm

Come in …
But please walk softly as you do.
Frogs dwell here and spiders too.
Ain't no ceiling, only blue.
Birds dwell here and sunbeams too.
Floors are flowers, take a few
Ferns grow here and daisies too.
Swoosh, whoosh - too-whit, too-woo
Bats dwell here and barn owls too.
Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee, hoo-hoooo,
Ghosts dwell here and faeries too.

And my child, I thought you knew,
I dwell here… and so do you.

~ Shel Silverstein
