I was reading Shel Silverstein poems to my kids, and I just had to share this one.

Shel Silverstein's poem about gardeners watering their plants with pee

Too bad he didn't know about giving urine to growies!

I've always loved Shel Silverstein - such a fun way to step out from mother goose! His books were often everyone's favorites, on those Christmases where books were the theme.

Some of those poems were great, we liked the book Where the Sidewalk Ends.
 
Maybe he went home and went to bed. And took this tiny ad with him:
