Title: Shel Siverstein wrote a Dead Baby joke!
Post by: QuéOnda on September 17, 2015, 02:21:40 PM
Someone Ate the Baby
By Shel Silverstein
Someone ate the baby it's rather sad to say
Someone ate the baby so she won't be out to play
We'll never hear her whiney cry or have to feel if she is dry
We'll never hear her asking why why why someone ate the baby
Someone ate the baby it's absolutely clear
Someone ate the baby cause the baby isn't here
We'll give away her toys and clothes we'll never have to wipe her nose
Dad says that's the way it goes someone ate the baby
Someone ate the baby what a frightful thing to eat
Someone ate the baby though she wasn't very sweet
It was a heartless thing to do the policemen haven't got a clue
I simply can't imagine who would go and (burp) eat the baby

This is Shel Silverstein's dead baby joke! Everyone has one.
Okay, I'll stop posting about dead babies. I just thought it was funny and I ran with it for a while.

That's the best dead baby joke ever.

Who's Shel Silverstein?
Quite a famous writer. Read my kids some translated poems when they were little.

One of them they still know by heart.

You have heard lyrics he has written.

He wrote stories like "The Giving Tree" and "Where the sidewalk ends", among others.  An American writer and illustrator, he could be very funny and very bizarre and very racy.

He was a very prolific writer and illustrator in his time.  Which alas, was too short, he died young many years ago.
