Shel Silverstein

I am intrigued by Shel Silverstein His passion and his works His obscure way of rhyming Making fun of other's quirks Unique, unusual, surprising Funny and clever is a given With emphasis on children And the world that they live in “Hector the Collector, Boa Constrictor Band-Aids, Sick, or With his Mouth Full of Food,” His poems are very different Yet similarly very good I chuckle in amusement and smile, reading “If the World Was Crazy and Sky Seasoning” But it’s impossible to just like two When they are all so amazing “Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage out,” and “The Giving Tree,” To go unmentioned would devalue Shel’s name Especially the last one I listed As it really was his claim to fame
