EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE ACCORDING TO FRED AND NED

Who says that books can't have babies
or be dead

Who says on another planet or airplane
that people aren't read instead

And the books might say,
"You can't read a person by its cover --
yellow, brown, white or red."

"Everything is possible
when the imagination is concerned.
All one has to do is look --
on the pages, the mind
the heart; right Fred?"

"Right Ned."

Benjamin, this is great. It's so very clever as a way to get the point across. Funny too!
