SMARTMy dad gave me one dollar bill'Cause I'm his smartest son,
And I swapped it for two shinyquarters'Cause two is more than one!* *And then I took the quartersAnd traded them to LouFor three dimes -- I guess he don'tknowThat three is more than two!* *Just then, along came old blind BatesAnd just 'cause he can't seeHe gave me four nickels for my threedimes,And four is more than three!* *And I took the nickels to HiramCoombsDown at the seed-feed store,And the fool gave me five pennies forthem,And five is more than four!* *And then I went and showed my dad,And he got red in the cheeksAnd closed his eyes and shook hishead--Too proud of me to speak!SMART by Shel Silverstein
