I believe I have posted this before, as have other people, but I wanted to repost it for those of you who've never read it, because it's cool as hell. haha
i can't believe he died. like every year since like 2nd grade if someone would bring him up i'd be like he died like last year and i looked up his death and he died in 1999. i've been off a few years
Do you know when this was writ? I love it! He was always the best when I was in dreaded elementary school. Thanks for this awesome post
1999 doesn't even seem like it was very long ago, then I realize it was 9 years ago and it makes me feel old. haha
Here's a link to a bunch of his poems: http://www.ihatemen.com/poems.cfm?catid=13&status=1 On that link, it says that he originally sibmitted The Perfect High in 1979. Not sure when it was written though.
that poem totally makes me think haha if i could smoke for a whole year.. with someone else rollin for me.. and free lemonade and grapes and hersheys bars and oreos.. <3
Yeah the only Shel Silverstein poems we read in school were "Where the Sidewalk Ends" and shit like that. lol
I know this is really lame, but Hug O War is my favorite Shel Silverstein poem... I will not play at tug o' war I'd rather play at hug o' war, Where everyone hugs Instead of tugs Where everyone giggles And rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses And everyone grins And everyone cuddles And everyone wins. Awwwwwww
