Tin Man



As for you, my galvanized friend, you want a heart. You don't know how lucky you are not to have one.

Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.

(quoted from The Wizard of Oz)

Dive





You’ve been up on that diving board
Making sure that it’s nice and straight.
You’ve made sure that it’s not too slick.
You’ve made sure it can stand the weight.
You’ve made sure that the spring is tight.
You’ve made sure that the cloth won’t slip.
You’ve made sure that it bounces right,
And that your toes can get a grip.


And you’ve been up there since half past five
Doin’ everything … but DIVE.

("Diving Board", by Shel Silverstein)

Feliz semana.
