"There once was a boy named Gimme-Some-Roy. He was nothing like me or you. Cause laying back and getting high was all he cared to do. As a kid, he sat in the cellar, sniffing airplane glue. And then he smoked banana peels, when that was the thing to do..." Shel Silverstein - The Perfect High

ATIONS

If we meet and I say, "HI,"
That's a salutation.
If you ask me how I feel,
That's consideration.
If we stop and talk a while,
That's a conversation.
If we argue, scream and fight,
That's an altercation.
If later we apologize,
That's reconciliation.
If we help each other home,
That's cooperation.

And all these ations added up
Makes civilization.

(And if I say this is a wonderful poem,
Is that exaggeration?)

Shel Silverstein
