I needed a little pep talk from Shel Silverstein, my Poet Guide for March, to put something out there for the world today. Here’s how the conversation went:

Why Hello Mr. S, 
How silly should we be?
I'm not known for having fun,
so please lead the way for me!

I'm going to need a guide
One who knows just what to do.
Thank goodness, you're the one!
The one I choose is YOU!

Now, Shari, don't you worry 'bout a thing! (that's Shel)
I've seen you have fun before!
The only advice I have 
is to add a little zing!

A dash of zip!
A splash of zap!
and you'll be sizzling all day long! 
Now, listen to me, Gurl. . . .
I'm hardly EVER wrong!

So. . . I gave it a little go.
