"Somebody has to go polish the stars,
They're looking a little bit dull.
Somebody has to go polish the stars,
For the eagles and starlings and gulls
Have all been complaining they're tarnished and worn,
They say they want new ones we cannot afford.
So please get your rags
And your polishing jars,
Somebody has to go polish the stars.
"
— Shel Silverstein (A Light in the Attic)

I can remember reading Shel Silverstein's books when I was in third or fouth grade. I still love a lot of his poems, especially this one. Keep polishing those stars Alexandra! You're doing a great job! :-)
