Poems by Sheldon Allan Silverstein
Handy Man
... I can drive a tractor or wheel a truck I can deal a hand at poker with exceptional luck ...
How Many, How Much
... How many slams in an old screen door ...
Ticklish Tom
... He shrieked and screamed and rolled around, ...
Bigtime
... I thanked them kindly but I told them no when I get out I'm gonna take it slow ...
Better Not Ask Me
... (Hey the truth might hurt so I'm tellin' you now that you better not ask me) ...
My Mind Keeps Movin
... .. [ guitar ] Sittin' home at midnight thinkin' bout Marie go to the phone I dial Carol Lee ...
Sing Me A Rainbow
... Now you´re the only one can get me straight ...
Helping
... And some kind of help is the kind of help ...
Kiss It Away
... Come my pain You keep hopin´ things´ll change and I keep tryin´ ...
I'm My Own Grandpa
... of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my step-mother ...
Colors
... But I'm told they look orange in the night ...
Hector The Collector
... Three-legged chairs and cups with cracks ...
Hippo's Hope
... So he sewed him some wings that could flap through the sky -- ...
Stupid Pencil Maker
... And the point's at the top - so it's no good to me, ...
Gumeye Ball
... Theres an eyeball in the gumball machine, ...
