Falling Up (book)

Fallin Up

By Shel Silverstein

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I tripped upon my shoelace

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

And I fell up-

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Up above the roof tops,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Up over the town,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Up past the tree tops,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Up over the mountains,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Up where the colours,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Blend into the sounds.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

But it got me so dizzy,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

When I looked around,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I got sick to my stomache

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

And I threw down.
