Wise Words from Shel Silverstein About Reasons to Count

February 06, 2009

by BeingSavvy

Shel Silverstein gives ice-cream loving kids a tragi-comic reason to learn to count to eighteen.


Eighteen Flavors

Eighteen luscious, scrumptious flavors--
Chocolate, lime and cherry,
Coffee, pumpkin, fudge-banana,
Caramel cream and boysenberry,
Rocky road and toasted almond,
Butterscotch, vanilla dip,
Butter-brickle, apple ripple,
Coconut and mocha chip,
Brandy peach and lemon custard,
Each scoop lovely, smooth, and round,
Tallest ice-cream cone in town,
Lying there (sniff) on the ground.

-- from Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends
