What is your favorite Shel Silverstein poem?

inspired by this gagger @Lissy6789

and her post

What Colors Would You Use to Describe Yourself?

"My skin is kind of sort of brownish
Pinkish yellowish white.
My eyes are greyish blueish green,
But I'm told they look orange in the night.
My hair is reddish blondish brown,
But it's silver when it's wet.
And all the colors I am inside
Have not been invented yet.
~Shel Silverstein "

Here are a couple of my favorites

I had a feeling this was question recently... but I think It's fun to repeat for those that did not get a chance to post and for new gaggers

I love his songs that he wrote too like a boy named Sue

[ThePundertaker]

I haven’t really looked into his work

[Jjpayne]

type silverstein poems into google and pick out a few, they are short and pretty fun to read

[ThePundertaker]

Hey you’re right
They actually are kinda nice
I’m honestly suprised because most of the things gag users recommend don’t appeal to me that much but I like this guy

He also looks like a pirate

[Jjpayne]

He's a fun guy but check out his poems, they are pretty crazy

[ThePundertaker]

Yeah dude I just read one about polishing stars
It’s nice

[Jjpayne]

ALPHABALANCE
by Shel Silverstein
Balancing my "ABC's" takes from noon to half past three.
I cannot stop to grab a "T"
Or even stop to take a "P".

[LegateLanius]

Those are quite interesting. Until today, I never heard of that person. From the ones you presented, I like the money one, even though it's silly.

[Queen-of-Hearts]

THE GIVING TREEEAAAAHHHHHH!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[Whatthefluff]

All of them!
