Shel Silverstein
Nothing new here. Just obsessing over Shel Silverstein. What kid didn’t love his poems and illustrations.
The other day a friend recited to me, “The Loser”. It made my day!
Mama said I’d lose my head
If it wasn’t fastened on.
Today I guess it wasn’t
‘Cause while playing with my cousin
It fell off and rolled away
And now its gone.
And I can’t look for it
‘Cause my eyes are in it,
And I can’t call to it
‘Cause my mouth is on it
(Couldn’t hear me anyway
‘Cause my ears are on it),
Can’t even think about it
‘Cause my brain is in it.
So I guess I’ll sit down
On this rock
And rest for just a minute…
So I was googling about him and checked out his website. So cute. Get nostalgic and remember the grandeur of childhood.
