Quotes: Shel Silverstein

Magic

Sandra's seen a leprechaun, 

Eddie touched a troll, 

Laurie danced with witches once, 

Charlie found some goblin's gold. 

Donald heard a mermaid sing, 

Susy spied an elf, 

But all the magic I have known 

I've had to make myself. 

–– Shel Silverstein (1930-1999), American writer, poet, cartoonist, songwriter, playwright
