Who is Shel Silverstein
Sheldon Allan Silverstein (; September 25, 1930 – May 10, 1999) was an American writer, poet, cartoonist, songwriter, and playwright. Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Silverstein briefly attended university before being drafted into the United States Army. Though perhaps best known for his children's books, Silverstein did not limit his audience to children. During his rise to prominence in the 1950s, his illustrations were published in various newspapers and magazines, notably the adult-oriented Playboy. He also wrote a satirical, adult-oriented alphabet book, Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book, under the stylized name "Uncle Shelby", which he used as an occasional pen name.Read Full Biography of Shel Silverstein
Shel Silverstein Poems
- Der Verlierer
Mama sagte, ich würde meinen Kopf verlieren
wenn es nicht befestigt war.
Heute war es wohl nicht
Denn beim Spielen mit meinem Cousin ... - El Perdedor
Mamá dijo que perdería la cabeza
si no estaba fijado
Hoy supongo que no fue
porque mientras jugaba con mi primo ... - Le Perdant
Maman a dit que je perdrais la tête
s'il n'était pas fixé.
Aujourd'hui je suppose que ce n'était pas
Parce qu'en jouant avec mon cousin ... - Terrible
Quelqu'un a mangé le bébé.
C'est plutôt triste à dire.
Quelqu'un a mangé le bébé
Alors elle ne sera pas dehors pour jouer. ... - Schrecklich
Jemand hat das Baby gegessen.
Es ist ziemlich traurig zu sagen.
Jemand hat das Baby gegessen
Sie wird also nicht zum Spielen ausgehen. ...
