Shel Silverstein

Now a little bitty termite, he come knockin,
Knockin at my front door,
He walked right in, sat right down
Started nibblin on the kitchen floor
He chewed on the walls and the ceilings and the halls --
Lord knows he tried --
But he kept a-gettin thinner
And he never got no dinner
And finally he sat up and cried...
He said, "Its plastic, good Lord, its plastic!
I know it aint no wood
And it cant do me no good,
Because its plastic -- and you cant eat plastic,
Everythings gonna be plastic by and by!"
Then one afternoon in the month of June
I went down to the beach.
There were cuties and beauties in little bathin suities
And all of them within my reach.
Then a 38-24-36 miss just happened to be passin my way.
I said, "Please dont think Im nervy, but you look so very curvy
Please tell me how you got that way!"
She said, "Its plastic -- its only plastic,
Its pretty as can be, but you know that it aint me,
Because theyre plastic, oh yes theyre plastic,
Everythings gonna be plastic by and by."
