The Clock Man

by Shel Silverstein

How much will you pay for an extra day?” The clock man asked the child. “Not one penny,” the answer came, “For my days are as many as smiles.”

“How much will you pay for an extra day?” He asked when the child was grown. “Maybe a dollar or maybe less, For I’ve plenty of days of my own.”

“How much will you pay for an extra day?” He asked when the time came to die. “All of the pearls in all of the seas, And all of the stars in the sky.”

This boat that we just built is just fine -- And don't try to tell us it's not. The sides and the back are divine-- It's the bottom I guess we forgot.... by Sheldon Silverstein
