I loved Shel Silverstein and cried when he died. My students did, too. We sort of had a mini memorial service and shared our favorite Shel Silverstein poems with one another.
I think mine is "PeggyAnn McKay"
I cannot go to school today said little Peggy Ann McKay' I have the measles and the mumps, A gash, a rash, and purple bumps ....
Really? Shel and Barbara? So much for Astrology, huh?! I can't think of any two people LESS alike!
ONE of my favorite Shel's is...
I got grabbed up by the elk and the caribou They tied me up with a vine lassoo And whisked me away to Animaloo Where they locked me up in th People Zoo.
Now I'm here in a cage that is small as can be (You can't let wild people just run around free), And I'm fed bread and tea at a quarter to three, And the animals all come and gander at me...
Happy Birthday!
