Notes About The Poem

Be Silly

If you stand on your toes and whisper
or scratch your belly and say “blister,”
you could join the Be Silly games.

If you lean on your elbow and daydream,
and you are nice and never mean,
you too can join the Be Silly games.

If you play Monopoly with your d-twenty
or use Uno cards for your money,
then you too can join the Be Silly games.  

Congratulations! You've joined our crew,
we are here to share our game with you, 
laugh and have a ball —
Be Silly with us all.
