Skin Stealer by:Shel Silverstein
This evening I un-zipped my skin
And carefully unscrewed my head,
Exactly as I always do
When I prepare myself for bed.
And while I slept a coo-coo came
As naked as could be
And put on the skin
and screwed on the head
That once belonged to me.
Now wearing my feet
He runs through the street
In a most disgraceful way,
doin' things and sayin' things
I'd never do or say,
Ticklin' the children
And kickin' the men
and dancin' the ladies away.
So if he makes your bright eyes cry
Or makes your poor head spin,
That scoundrel you see-
He's the coo-coo
Who's wearing my skin.
