InspiredUs: "Anything can happen, child. Anything can be."- Shel Silverstein
Mattmcclellan1R: Everyone acts shocked about Shel Silverstein writing “A Boy Named Sue”.
But, have you all heard Randy Newman? Before Pixar was a thing, this guy was writing some of the best biting satirical songs.
Songs that make “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” feel off after you hear them.
EMILYveMeAlone: Shel Silverstein be like it’s giving tree
librarybookbot: ‘She had blue skin, / And so did he. / He kept it hid / And so did she. / They searched for blue / Their whole life through, / Then passed right by - / And never knew.’

lexlmerrill: Underface
By Shel Silverstein
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

Trey_Kay: “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.”
— Shel Silverstein
william_prine: There was a book I remembered my mom reading to us:
The Slithergadee has crawled out of the sea.
He may catch all the others, but he won't catch me.
No, you won't catch me, old Slithergadee,
You may catch all the others, but you wo—

Shel Silverstein is hilarious and wholesome. Madeline L’Engle introduced me to new forms of Christian spirituality. These bans are insane.

albatrossdoomed: 25 years? Haven’t listened to that band since the album w/ a skull, but thinking about going from being told I looked like young Chino in my youth to sorta growing into Chino by way of Shel Silverstein, which is fine but nobody really tells you something like that. Time’s strange

jupiterean: will share some outputs once it gets good enough
im having to tweak the input data bc apparently the leap in writing styles from john keats to shel silverstein is simply too much for the model to comprehend
ANIMALKRACKA: I'm still amazed Shel Silverstein sold any copies of The Giving Tree with his crazy ass self portrait on the back of the book jacket.
LogoSimian: Everybody's chuckling at the "original" joke Shel Silverstein made a billion years ago, or else dunking on the nihilism.
But I'm going to point out that MY children's book features a shark punching a fourteen-story sheet ghost.
doctorow: Shel Silverstein, selected pieces for Playboy
ravenousreader: Our family highly regarded education. We went to the public library at least 2-3 times a week for “fun”. My mom carefully curated our reading list; snubbing her nose as Dr Seuss, and Shel Silverstein as shallow, and handing us AA Milne instead, yes we were poor
JimMcMenimon: I asked Chat GPT to write a Shel Silverstein poem about The Matrix. This is what I got:
JGbones: Philly Shel Silverstein over here

Although I cannot see your face

cassidyjo_1: A Boy Named Sue will always be one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs and what makes it better is that Shel Silverstein wrote it my favorite author in the entire world, definitely how I oddly relate if In another alternate universe I cared to confront my birth parents
obviouschinabot: I asked for a hot dog
With everything on it
And that was my big mistake,
'Cause it came with a parrot,
A bee in a bonnet,
A wristwatch, a wrench, and a rake
