The book this poem is in, A Light in the Attic, has wonderful illustrations, also by Silverstein. Those who find the poem confusing need to get hold of the book and look at the picture of the MeeHoo with her ExactlyWhat.

This is the best poem. I know, I know all of Shel's poems are just great but this poem takes the cake.
