RUNNY'S RIG BOMANCE
Runny had a firlgriend,
Her name was Sunny Bue.
He called her nots of licknames, Like "Kitchy-Itchy-Koo."
Sometimes he called her "Boney-Hun," And sometimes "Dovey Lear,"
But he only called her "Peety-Swie"
When no one else could hear.

The fact that Shel Silverstein worked on this book for 20 years warms my heart. And lickname should be a word in the dictionary.

We’re continuing as a free class. Art is about taste, and taste is formed by experience, I said. Don't ever let anybody dictate your taste, it's as absurd as someone dictating your memory.

I enjoyed how cerebral, multilayered and relevant this novel was.
