HAVE YOU EVER SEEN

By Unknown


Have you ever seen a sheet on a river bed?

Or a single hair from a hammer’s head?

Has the foot of a mountain any toes?

And is there a pair of garden hose?


Does the needle ever wink its eye?

Why doesn’t the wing of a building fly?

Can you tickle the ribs of a parasol?

Or open the trunk of a tree at all?


Are the teeth of a rake ever going to bite?

Have the hands of a clock any left or right?

Can the garden plot be deep and dark?

And what is the sound of the birch’s bark?
