Friday's Poem #1

My current mood: like Aretha, I feel so uninspired.
My Muse must be really distracted lately, either that or she has left me in search of a better writer. I really hope she hasn't as it's writers like me who need her most.
So, while I wait for my muse to return, I've decided to post a little poem every Friday.

Here's the first, Listen to the Mustn'ts by Shel Silverstein


And here's a short video of the author himself performing this poem:




Shel Silverstein  “is a magnificent poet of the spirit, and what he says in light
verse and drawing to children is of such importance, such urgency, that we
must be grateful that more than three* million [sic] copies of his books are
being read. In a world that needs a generation of imaginative thinkers, may
there be millions and millions more.”
—Myra Cohn Livingston, New York Times, March 9, 1986
