"I've written a poem.." he answers.<br> <br> "Really? Read it.." Lucy commands. "All right..it isn't very long.." Charlie Brown stands between Lucy and Snoopy.<br> <br> He reads: "Some days you think maybe you know everything...Some days you think maybe you don't know anything...Some days you think you know a few things...Some days you don't even know how old you are."<br> <br> Charlie Brown smiles at Lucy. Lucy and Snoopy stare blankly ahead.<br> <br> "That's the worst poem I've ever heard!" she declares. Snoopy's ears tremble.<br> <br> She throws out her arms and exclaims: "A poem is suppoed to have feeling! Your poem couldn't touch ANYONE'S heart! Your poem couldn't make ANYONE cry! Your poem couldn't.."<br> <br> WAAH! Lucy stops as Snoopy turns away and bawls.<br> <br> "Some days you think maybe you know everything...Some days you think maybe you.."
