Hahaha yay, another funny poem! I actually remember reading this as a child and it's still as funny. :)

Haha funny poem, I could hear a musical being played in my mind.
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling,

Funny, love the drawing.
ReplyDeleteI always loved that poem. I gotta show that one to my son. He'll get a kick out of it too.
ReplyDeleteIt's many, many a year since I heard this. The Smothers Brothers sang it, as did Johnny Cash. I think that was back in the 60s... Some things are just timeless, aren't they? Great post, Dani!
ReplyDeleteThat cover is creepy, in a good way. I want to read it!
ReplyDeleteI love this! It was one of my favorites when I was a kid. Good memories. ☺
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giggle!
ReplyDeletegreetings... and hello to the nightmare of snakes making snacks.

Oh No, Let's Go... Crazy
Haha loved the poem! I love the cover too, very atmospheric :)
ReplyDeleteI love the cover; the color looks really cool.
ReplyDeleteLol! We use to sing that boa poem as a song. Now, it will be stuck in my head for days!
ReplyDeleteThat's a little ditty I've never seen or heard! That's an interesting book cover.

That was funny. And awful of course. Nice choice.
ReplyDeleteI totally love Shel Silverstein!
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally forgot to include the Warrior Minion links in my post! It's pathetic that we are only on day two and I'm already feeling totally overwhelmed LOL.
Shel Silverstein is my fav! Love the poem.
ReplyDeleteThe Boa Constrictor piece gave me a good laugh...thanks :)
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of many bad things in life that we let eat us one bite at a time. Good thing we are not obligated to let them!
ReplyDeleteCreepy cover! She certainly looks dead, but she kind of looks peaceful. I would be so freaked out about a boa constrictor that it would never get the opportunity to nibble on my toe.

loved the poem! and the cover - it's intense and mysterious.
ReplyDeleteI remember singing that "boa constrictor" silly song at school and in Girl Scouts - it was fun to see it again!
ReplyDeleteAnd that is a very intense cover.
This is the first time I've seen that poem. Cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the cover. Just that little bit would make me want to read the book. If I only had time...
I love the poems! Thanks for sharing them. It's a long time since I last heard them. So funny, and the drawings are good too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and stopping to say hello!
Have you heard of Jack Prelutsky? He's kinda like a modern version of Shel. Love both, by the way.
ReplyDeleteI adore Shel :-) This made me smile!
ReplyDeleteYes, love Shel! And it's Poetry Month! Woot! Thanks for stopping by my blog -- look forward to doing the A to Z along side ya!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me smile-- I need as many smiles as I can get this month!

I loved the poem! Thank you for sharing, I never read much of Shel, so it was nice to read!
ReplyDeleteIsn't Shel Silverstein great? Boa Constrictor is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of Blood Magic-impressive cover.
Hahaha, the picture in my head is really funny with a boa eating the person while he's making a poem of it. Romantic death!
ReplyDeleteI'm digging the Shel Silverstien stuff (that anteater one from yesterday was hilariously funny to me). That Blood Magic cover's great; I had all the same thoughts about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to look up Shel Silverstein now. I'm loving the poetry and art!

The cover of Blood Magic...shudder.
ReplyDeletehahah, the poem is so cute. And yet eek-y. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat A to Z theme!
Okay that one kinda freaked me out...but I still liked it. :)
