Happy Birthday Shel Silverstein

It’s amazing the difference
A bit of sky can make.

~Where the Sidewalk Ends

ALICE
She drank from a bottle called DRINK ME
And she grew so tall,
She ate from a plate called TASTE ME
And down she shrank so small.
And so she changed, while other folks
Never tried nothin’ at all.

~Where the Sidewalk Ends

Underneath my outside face

There’s a face that none can see.

A little less smiley,

A little less sure,

But a whole lot more like me.

~Every Thing On It

Although I cannot see your face

As you flip these poems awhile,

Somewhere from some far-off place

I hear you laughing--and I smile.

~Every Thing On It
