poem "Listen to the Mustn'ts" (Shel Silverstein)

From the book Where the sidewalk ends (1974).

[bearbeiten] Text

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,

Listen to the DON'TS

Listen to the SHOULDN'TS

The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS

Listen to the NEVER HAVES.

Then listen close to me -

Anything can happen, child,

ANYTHING can be.
