SkinStealer By: Shel Silverstien

This evening i unzipped my skin
and carefully unscrewed my head,
Exactly as i always do
when i prepare myself for bed.
when i slept a coo-coo came
as naked as can be
and put on the skin
and screwed on the head
that belonged to me.
Now wearing my feet
he runs through the street
in an almost 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 make your poor head spin,
That scoundrel you see-
is really not me
hes the coo-coo
who;s wearing my skin.
