More quotes by Shel Silverstein
So please get your rags And your polishing jars, Somebody has to go polish the stars.
Shel Silverstein
We can't hold hands― Someone might see. Won't you please Hold toes with me?
Shel Silverstein
INVISIBLE BOY And here we see the invisible boy In his lovely invisible house, Feeding a piece of invisible cheese To a little invisible mouse. Oh, what a beautiful picture to see! Will you draw an invisible picture for me?
Shel Silverstein
I've found my missin' piece So grease my knees and fleece my bees I've found my missin' piece!
Shel Silverstein
Just 'cause somethin' ain't been done Don't mean it can't be did.
Shel Silverstein
If you want to find out what a writer or a cartoonist really feels, look at his work. That's enough.
Shel Silverstein
This boat that we just built is just fine - And don't try to tell us it's not The sides and the back are divine - It's the bottom I guess we forgot
Shel Silverstein
I'd rather play tennis than go to the dentist. I'd rather play soccer than go to the doctor. I'd rather play Hurk than go to work. Hurk? Hurk? What's Hurk? I don't know but it MUST be better than work!
Shel Silverstein
Just Me, Just Me Sweet Marie, she loves just me (She also loves Maurice McGhee). No she don't, she loves just me (She also loves Louise Dupree). No she don't, she loves just me (She also loves the willow tree). No she don't, she loves just me! (Poor, poor fool, why can't you see She can love others and still love thee.)
Shel Silverstein
We're all worth the same When we turn off the light.
Shel Silverstein
everything isn't everything
Shel Silverstein
My skin is kind of sort of brownish pinkish yellowish white. My eyes are greyish blueish green, but I'm told they look orange in the night. My hair is reddish blondish brown, but its silver when its wet, and all the colors I am inside have not been invented yet.
Shel Silverstein
I was hoping that perhaps I could roll with you... You cannot roll with me, said the Big O, but perhaps you can roll by yourself.
Shel Silverstein
I am writing these poems from inside a lion.
Shel Silverstein

Shel Silverstein
I will not play at tug o' war, I'd rather play at hug o' war
Shel Silverstein
I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play 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.
Shel Silverstein
Never explain what you do. It speaks for itself. You only muddle it by talking about it.
Shel Silverstein
I myself do not believe in explaining anything.
Shel Silverstein
Beware of being the roller / When there's nothing left to roll
Shel Silverstein
