Let It Snow, Let It Snow... Okay. You Can Stop Now.

Snowball

by Shel Silverstein

I made myself a snow ball as perfect as could be.

I thought I'd keep it as a pet and let it sleep with me.

I made it some pajamas and a pillow for its head.

Then, last night it ran away.

But first -- it wet the bed.

 

Plenty of snow for everyone in my etsy shop and my eBay shop.

Christmas Dog

by Shel Silverstein

Tonight’s my first night as a watchdog,
And here it is Christmas Eve.
The children are sleepin’ all cozy upstairs,
While I’m guardin’ the stockin’s and tree.

What’s that now--footsteps on the rooftop?
Could it be a cat or a mouse?
Who’s this down the chimney?
A thief with a beard--
And a big sack for robbin’ the house?

I’m barkin’ I’m growlin’ I’m bittin’ his butt.
He howls and jumps back in his sleigh.
I scare his strange horses, they leap in the air.
I’ve frightened the whole bunch away.

Now the house is all peaceful and quiet again,
The stockin’s are safe as can be.
Won’t the kiddies be glad when they wake up tomorrow
And see how I’ve guarded the tree.

Things That Go Boo in the Night

From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!

Traditional Scottish Prayer

~~~

From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go Boo in the night,
Bring 'em on!

Traditional Cornerstoregoddess Philosophy 

Boo is a friendly little guy.  You can tell by his toothy grin.  He's made of lampwork glass, created in Colorado at Silver Leaf Glass.  He is set off with sterling silver daisies and a  Swarovski crystal.   He dangles beneath a fire polish crystal.

His chain is handmade, as well, with fire polish crystals of orange and black wire-wrapped with sterling silver, onto sterling silver chain.  It closes with a Bali silver toggle clasp.

The chain is approximately 24" (60.96 cm) in length.  The Boo pendant drops approximately 1-1/2" 3.81 cm).

Boo Monster necklace is available in my etsy shop.

Walenda the Witch

This bracelet is really about the Three Vegetarian Witches, who grow organic produce and are working on a zucchini broom.

But I told you their tale recently, so I'll share a Shel Silverstein witch poem to go along with this bracelet and necklace that are up for auction on eBay this week. 

Walenda is the weirdest witch

And maybe you have seen her.

She uses her broom to sweep her room -

And flies on her vacuum cleaner.

Love is Grand But...

by Shel Silverstein

Miz Pelican said she loved me,

And to show how much she cared,

She let me set inside her beak

And took me flyin' everywhere.

But then - below - she spied a fish

And dove - and let me fall - cr-unch,

As she whispered, "Love is grand,

But lunch, my dear, is lunch.

 Fall in love with a pelican here. (Bring lunch.)

Hug O' War

by Shel Silverstein

I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,

Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug, 

Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,



And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.

Wishing you peace.

A Nest Full of Soon-to-Be Early Birds

Early Bird

 

by Shel Silverstein

Oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird

And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.

If you’re a bird, be an early bird—

But if you’re a worm, sleep late.

A nest of early birds can be found here.
