In Search Of Cinderella, Shel Silverstein

[toujours_nigel]

From dusk to dawn,
From town to town,
Without a single clue,
I seek the tender, slender foot
To fit this crystal shoe.
From dusk to dawn,
I try it on
Each damsel that I meet.
And I still love her so, but oh,
I've started hating feet.

Oh man, I remember the illustration for this so well! Loved this book as a kid; "Hungry Mungry" was the first poem I ever memorized.

It's such a fun poem. Well, all of Silverstein tends that way *g*
