Listen To The Mustn'ts

by Shel Silverstein

Shel Silverstein

Listen to Mustn'ts, child, listen to the Don'ts.
Listen to the Shouldn'ts, the Impossibles, the Won'ts.
Listen to the Never Haves, then listen close to me.
Anything can happen, child, Anything can be.

    ODE TO PAUL VERLAINE
    by John Lars Zwerenz
    Ode To Paul Verlaine Verlaine, Verlaine, where did you go? My thoughts, today, blown by the wind, Saw you in a Kendal Green tamarind, Which swayed in the drunken sirocco.
