Denne var jo helt fantastisk! Verken hørt om mannen eller diktet før, men jammen skal jeg bringe dette videre... Takk!

Shel Silverstein (1930-1999) var en amerikansk vitsetegner, sanger/låtskriver og dikter av barnerim. Dette er er originalen:

I asked the Zebra,

Are you black with white stripes?

Or white with black stripes?

And the zebra asked me,

Are you good with bad habits?

Or are you bad with good habits?

Are you noisy with quiet times?

Or are you quiet with noisy times?

Are you happy with some sad days?

Or are you sad with some happy day?

Are you neat with some sloppy ways?

Or are you sloppy with some neat ways?

And on and on and on and on

And on and on he went.

I'll never ask a zebra

About stripes
