A Short Poem

Tell me I'm clever,
Tell me I'm kind,
Tell me I'm talented,
Tell me I'm cute,
Tell me I'm sensitive,
Graceful and wise,
Tell me I'm perfect - 
But tell me the truth.
I wish I could take credit for that poem. Unfortunately, I really can't. Because the real author might find this blog, track me down and sue me. I can't really afford a lawyer, my parents wouldn't lend me the money, and I really don't want to have to pay up loads of cash.
So here it is. The author. Surprisingly I'm finding it really hard to write these next 2 words. Okay, take a deep breath.
The author is...
Shel Silverstein.
Thank you and goodnight.
Though it isn't actually night. But who really cares?
