Today's Webtip: Shel Silverstein

Ickle me, tickleme, pickle me too. Another serious hit from the author of A Boy Named Sue.

What do "The Giving Tree", "Where the Sidewalk Ends", "A Boy Named Sue" and "The Cover of the Rolling Stone" have in common?

They were all written by one of my favorite poets, Shel Silverstein. Well, poet/musician I guess. Freindly flier of the freak flag, perhaps. Most certainly a really nifty guy.

As will be evidenced in this Performance of a poem from "Where the Sidewalk Ends"

Or this performance on the Johnny Cash Show
