Hey y'all. I've been vacationing in Nashville with my boyfriend so reading hasn't been on the menu. However, we visited the Country Music Hall of Fame yesterday and in an exhibit titled Outlaws & Armadillos, there was a small wall for Shel Silverstein.

Gave it a pick, but it‘s repetitive.

Shel doesn‘t seem like someone I‘d be friends with, either.
Read at your own risk for having preconceived ideas challenged that he was a sweet, paternalistic kind of guy. Maybe he was, but that‘s not how he‘s presented here. 😟
