How Many?


I didn't write this, but I really like it.

How many slams in an old screen door?
Depends how loud you shut it.
How many slices in a bread?
Depends how thin you cut it.
How much good inside a day?
Depends how good you live ‘em.
How much love inside a friend?
Depends how much you give ‘em.

Shel Silverstein

I know that you didn't write it...it's just that, while I recognize Shel's genius, not every one of poems really gets to me...
