Ode to Shel

Can you bend straight over and touch your hands to your toes?
Can you put the tip of your tongue to the tip of your nose?
Can you get clean in the shower while wearing your clothes?
Or wiggle your ears while blowing your nose?

Do you have dreams of the future while you fitfully doze?
Can you keep Love in your heart while fighting your foes?
Would you never look back, even after you chose?
Or walk out a door that's already closed?

Do you ride on the highs and float on the lows?
Spill your heart with your mouth or spell it with prose?
Consider true love while plucking a rose?
Will you speak answers to questions that nobody knows,
While bending straight over
and touching your toes?
