HOW TO MAKE A SWING
WITH NO ROPE
OR BOARD OR NAILSFirst grow a mustache
A hundred inches long,
Then loop it over a hick’ry limb
(Make sure the limb is strong).
Now pull yourself up off the ground
And wait until the spring-
Then swing!
-Shel Silverstein
It’s nice to know that the swing the boys made is being put to good use!
Posting a bit late today- got all tangled up in the greatness that is Shel Silverstein and A Light in the Attic. I kept stopping to read the kids all my old favorites.
I think you should fully expect to see more of Shel in the days ahead…
