Quotes
- Once I spoke the language of the flowers,
Once I understand each word the caterpillar said,
Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed.- Where the Sidewalk Ends
- When the light turns green, you go. When the light turns red, you stop. But what do you do when the light turns blue with orange and lavender spots?
- A Light in the Attic
- If you have to dry the dishes
(Such an awful boring chore)
If you have to dry the dishes
('Stead of going to the store)
If you have to dry the dishes
And you drop one on the floor
Maybe they won't let you
Dry the dishes anymore- A Light in the Attic
- How do you do! My name is Sue! Now you gonna die!
- "A Boy Named Sue" (performed by Johnny Cash)
