Last night, while I lay thinking here,

Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear

And pranced and partied all night long

And sang their same old Whatif song:

Whatif I’m dumb in school?

Whatif they’ve closed the swimming pol?

Whatif I get beat up?

Whatif there’s poison in my cup?

Whatif I start to cry?

-"Whatif" by Shel Silverstein
