Shel Silverstein Quotes

One sister for sale,
One sister for sale,
One crying and spying young sister for sale
I'm really not kidding so who'll start the bidding
Do I hear a dollar?
A nickle?
A penny?
Oh isnt there isnt there isnt there any
One person who will buy this sister for sale
This crying spying old young sister for sale.

Shel Silverstein

Yes, for what do we play here in this world but a children's game for who knows how many days? It would be nothing whatever, if it were not the passage... Saint Francis de Sales

For the first time in my life I took to writing things on walls. The passage-ways of several smart restaurants had ' Visca P.O.U.M.!' scrawled on them as large as I could write it.
