A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Bookstore:Every Thing On It by Shel Silverstein

This collection of previously unpublished poems by the late, great Shel Silverstein truly does have everything(as per the title). Retaining Silverstein's usual humorous/bizarre style, this book contains such gems as, "Growing Down", where Mr. "Grow-Up" Brown discovers the joys of growing down, "The Romance", where an elephant and a pelican decide to get married because no one else's names rhyme with theirs, "A Mouse In This House", where Uncle Ben detects a mouse and (literally!) takes the house apart to find it, "How Hungry Is Polly?", where a girl says she's, "So hungry she could eat a horse," which a nearby horse doesn't think is very nice, "Italian Food", which may be just as much fun to say as it is to eat, and "You'll Never Be King", where a queen tells her young son that he'll have to take his job more seriously if he ever wants to be king. All in all, it's a good collection and a must-have for any Shel Silverstein fan or anyone who likes wacky poems.

Here are a couple of my favorites:
