Shel Silverstein
“...Just 'cause somethin' ain't been done
Don't mean it can't be did...”
Shel Silverstein, Every Thing on It

Shel Silverstein
“If you want to marry me, here's what you'll have to do:
You must learn how to make a perfect chicken-dumpling stew.
And you must sew my holey socks,
And soothe my troubled mind,
And develop the knack for scratching my back,
And keep my shoes spotlessly shined.
And while I rest you must rake up the leaves,
And when it is hailing and snowing
You must shovel the walk...and be still when I talk,
And-hey-where are you going?”
Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends

Shel Silverstein
“Yes, I'm adopted.
My folks were not blessed
With me in the usual way.
But they picked me,
They chose me
From all the rest,
Which is lots more than most kids can say.”
Shel Silverstein, Every Thing on It

Shel Silverstein
“We can't hold hands―
Someone might see.
Won't you please
Hold toes with me?”
Shel Silverstein, Every Thing on It

Shel Silverstein
“If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you're a pretender come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!”
Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends
