I do not know a single person who does not love the work of Shel Silverstein, and no child should grow up without reading his wit. I thought this poem of his was especially insightful…down to every last little bit:

The Romance

Said the pelican to the elephant,
“I think we should marry, I do.
‘Cause there’s no name that rhymes with me,
And no one else rhymes with you.”

Said the elephant to the pelican,
“There’s sense to what you’ve said,
For rhyming’s as good a reason as any
For any two to wed.”

And so the elephant wed the pelican,
And they dined upon lemons and limes,
And now they have a baby pelicant,
And everybody rhymes.

There’s a lesson in there about getting along, which might help us figure out what is right and what is wrong.
