Poems by Sheldon Allan Silverstein
Sky Seasoning
... I could have eaten a lentil-soup lake ...
Snowball
... I thought I'd keep it as a pet ...
Double-Tail Dog
... Just scratch him on his tails, he'll find it pleasing ...
Jimmy Jet And His TV Set
... And he grew a plug that looked like a tail ...
When She Cries
... And if you've heard her whispered words, it comes as no surprise ...
I Know You Little, I Love You Lots
... my love for you could fill ten pots, ...
Toplesstown
... . . faces And the attorney general announces this is gonna be one of her priority cases ...
Everybody's Makin' It Big But Me
... And I hear that Paul McCartney drives a Rolls Royse car ...
Homemade Boat
... This boat that we just built is just fine-- ...
Ugliest Man In Town
... But the only love I ever got I got out of pity cause I'm the ugliest man in town ...
The Voice
... " No teacher, preacher, parent, friend ...
Mama I'll Sing One For You
... And the girl in the blue wall papered room she'll ask where i been hidin' ...
Hug O'War
... I'd rather play at hug o' war, ...
The Hunter
... I have faced the housefly in his lair, I have stalked the ladybug ...
Zebra Question
... Or are you sloppy with some neat ways ...
