Here is another fun poem by Shel Silverstien, which expresses the importance of practicing effective communication and sending clear messages to others!
Everything On It
I asked for a hot dog
With everything on it,
And that was my big mistake,
‘Cause it came with a parrot,
A bee in a bonnet,
A wristwatch, a wrench, and a rake.
It came with a goldfish,
A flag, and a fiddle,
A frog, and a front porch swing,
And a mouse in a mask –
That’s the last time I ask
For a hot dog with everything.
