the word

poet shel silverstein understood that the minds of children hold some of the greatest insight to be found among us.  in honor of that understanding, today's word is his poem, "listen to the mustn'ts".

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.
