I can't wait to read Silverstein's poems with my daughter. Much of my love for lyric come from pouring over his poems as a child. This is just one of the many things I'm looking forward to experiencing again.

I think he wrote "Runny Babbit" purely to torture parents who read to their kids. Love Shel also; did you know he also did this (a staple of Dr Demento) :

I didn't. Thanks.
Did you know that he wrote this?

Truly a multi-talented man. Scary-looking though!
My grandson could never understand why I couldn't finish reading "The Giving Tree" to him without crying (I still can't; I'm getting misty just thinking about it now). He was too young to see the sadness in it. Someday he will understand.

He is scary looking. I always loved his books as a kid but hated looking at his photo, creeped me out.
