Original poem : SOMETHING MISSING

by Shel Silverstein 

 I remember I put on my socks,

I remember I put on my shoes.

I remember I put on my tie

That was painted

In beautiful purples and blues.

I remember I put on my coat,

To look perfectly grand at the dance,

Yet I feel there is something

I may have forgot—

What is it? What is it?…

Here are some other versions of the poem (November 2022):

I remember I put on my hat

I feel there is something missing

What is it? What is it?…
