  4. It'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!

  13. I totally love Shel Silverstein!

    And 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.

  16. Makes 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!

  17. Creepy 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.

  19. I remember singing that "boa constrictor" silly song at school and in Girl Scouts - it was fun to see it again!
    And that is a very intense cover.

  22. Have you heard of Jack Prelutsky? He's kinda like a modern version of Shel. Love both, by the way.

  27. Isn't Shel Silverstein great? Boa Constrictor is one of my favorites.
    I'd never heard of Blood Magic-impressive cover.

    ReplyDelete
  28. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'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.

  30. I'm going to have to look up Shel Silverstein now. I'm loving the poetry and art!
