2 Whatif Last night as I lay thinking here, Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear. And pranced and partied all night long. And sang their same old Whatif song: Whatif I'm dumb in school? Whatif they've closed the swimming pool? Whatif I get beat up? Whatif there's poison in my cup?

3 Whatif I start to cry? Whatif I get sick and die? Whatif I flunk that test? Whatif green hair grows on my chest? Whatif nobody likes me? Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me? Whatif I don't grow tall? Whatif my head starts getting smaller?

4 Whatif the fish won't bite? Whatif the wind tears up my kite? Whatif they start a war? Whatif my parents get divorced? Whatif the bus is late? Whatif my teeth don't grow in straight? Whatif I tear my pants? Whatif I never learn to dance?

5 Everything seems swell, and then... The nighttime Whatifs strike again!

6 Shel Silverstein an American poet, songwriter, cartoonist, screenwriter and author of children's books. “I would hope that people, no matter what age, would find something to identify with in my books, pick up one and experience a personal sense of discovery.”
