Shel Silverstein was born in 25 September, 1930 and dieed in 10 May, 1999. Shel Silverstein was an American poet, cartoonist, singer-songwriter, musician, composer, screenwriter and author of children's books.
Apparently the sidewalk is not yet over for Shel Silverstein bibliography.
Today marks the release of a new edition of the unpublished poems and illustrations of the poet of the child, who died 12 years ago.
The collection is called "all over it," after a poem in the collection of a fully loaded hot dog.
EVERY THING ON IT
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.
It came with a goldfish,
A flag, and a fiddle,
A frog, and a front porch swing,
And a mouse in a mask—
That's the last time I ask
For a hot dog with everything.
But the Frankfurter holder is not the only food mentioned in the volume.
NPR listeners gave a preview of "All about the subject," an accompanying poem, "Italian cuisine", the delicious pasta and pasta, and anti-sounding name back.
It begins: "Oh, how I love Italian food / I eat all the time .." Read all at the end of the NPR article.
