Finally got my two favorite books from my younger years. The first is from the donate shelf at a Christian Day-Care where my friend's wife works. It cost me 25 cents, if memory serves. The second was on the donate shelf at my local library, and cost me one dollar. For less than a frap at Starbucks, I've reclaimed a bunch of sweet childhood memories. All-in-all, quite an awesome find.
"PRAYER OF THE SELFISH CHILD
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
And if I die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my toys to break,
So none of the other kids can use 'em...
Amen."
-Shel Silversteen
"A Light in the Attic" 1981

You have a donate shelf at your library? I'm jealous! And I've always wanted to read his book, too.
