From out of the cold Caribbean
Into the Desert Libyan
There crawled a strange amphibian,
And we sall call him "Fred"!
You say you want to call him "Ted"?
But I want to call him "Fred"!
You like "Maurice" instead?
Or "Barnaby" or "Red"
Or "Lucifer" or "Ned"?
Well, anyway, he's dead.
The poem that says "You have to go to bed by day" is written by Shel Silverstein. It appears in his poetry collection titled "A Light in the Attic."
"The Flag" by Shel Silverstein is a humorous poem about a flag that doesn't want to be saluted by people or flown because it gets dirty. Eventually, the flag ends up living in a museum where it can always look perfect. The poem is whimsical and showcases Silverstein's playful and clever style.

Orthodox Jews bind parchments to their bodies when they pray. These go in little leather boxes (Shelim). One goes on the forehead - the Shel Rosh - and one on the arm - the Shel Yad.
Shel Silverstein uses rhyme, repetition, and imagery in his poem "Merry-Go-Round." Rhyme is evident in the end rhymes of each line, repetition is seen in the use of the phrase "up and down," and imagery is used to vividly describe the carnival scene.
