"Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect - But tell me the truth."~ Shel Silverstein
I think he's a fascinating, and complicated character. What do you think of his quote and how would you feel being placed in that situation. It's a moment when our tactile skills come into play. What's your favorite Silverstein poem?

How would I feel if placed in that situation? Weird, but then it wouldn't be the first time I've been is a situation that made me feel weird. Dealing with other human beings tends to make a person feel weird. As to all those kind thing Mr. Silverstein listed since I never met the man I can only give him the benefit of the doubt and presume they are true. From reading his poems I know that he is clever and talented, I also know he has a sense of humor which isn't listed in the quote. As for being cute, well the picture on the internet revealed that he had a bald head and beard. As far as I'm concerned that qualifies him as ruggedly good looking, so I suppose you can say he was cute.

What is my favorite Shel Silverstein poem?
