Classic book from childhood, with a much deeper theme than one a 5y/o can analyze.

Simple, short, a little sad. I don't know if it's a fucked up story or a brilliant one. I'm feeling a little ambigous. Would I have liked this story more as a child? I don't know.

Shel Silverstein was awesome, but this book is TERRIBLE. Seriously, there can be no possible outcome of this book other than psychopathy or therapy.
