Unhappy Here

Unhappy Here – Shel Silverstein

 

Mail me somewhere,

Mail me somewhere,

Wrap me and pack me

And mail me somewhere.

Parcel post, UPS, 

Regular mail, or Air,

All wrapped up in brown paper

That won't rip or tear,

With stamps on my forehead

And string in my hair,

And a tag on my butt that says

"Handle with care."

Paste on any address, 

It don't matter where, 

Illinois or Kentucky

Or Delaware. 

"Cause where ever it it, 

I'll be happier there–

So please ship me–send me–

Mail me somewhere
