“I made myself a snowball
As perfect as could be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas
And a pillow for its head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first–it wet the bed.”

“Poor, poor fool why can’t you see She can love others and still love thee.”
“I can be someone’s and still be my own.”
“And all the colors I am inside Have not been invented yet.”
