If I were a Feather Bed

If I Were a Featherbed

by John McCutcheon

If I were a featherbed in your house so fine,
I'd wrap my arms around you tight, keep you warm in the wintertime...

And if I were a woolen rug a-sittin' in your front hall,
I'd reach right up and I'd tickle your toes if you stepped on me at all...

If I were an old banjo, felt your finger on my strings,
I'd play the sweetest little song that a banjo e'er did sing...

If I were a hair ribbon and my color it was blue,
I'd be ten times as beautiful because I'd be wearing you...

If I were a drop of rain trickling down your chin,
I'd run right up and kiss your lips, and kiss them twice again...

If I were a breath of wind on your cheeks as you walked by,
I'd pick you up upon my back and teach you how to fly...

Quote: Dr. Seuss

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. -- Dr. Seuss

I ran across the above quote a few months ago & thought it was pretty great. The quote came to mind again because we've been on a Dr. Seuss kick around here with repeated readings of The Lorax & The Butter Battle Book. There are so many wonderful books by Dr. Seuss, but these are 2 of my favorites and, of course, they elicit the best discussions...

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. -- Dr. Seuss
