Where The Sidewalk Ends

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too


Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too, 
Went for a ride in a flying shoe, 
"Hooray!" 
"What fun!" 
"It's time we flew!" 
Said Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.


Ickle was captain, Pickle was crew, 
And Tickle served coffee and mulligan stew 
As higher 
And higher 
And higher they flew, 
Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.


Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too, 
Over the sun and beyond the blue. "
Hold on!" 
"Stay in!" 
"I hope we do!" 
Cried Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.


Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too 
Never returned to the world they knew, 
And nobody 
knows what's 
happened to 
Dear Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Written by Shel Silverstein

 (1930-1999)
