  • nice!

  • That was creepy.. I won't sleep tonight.

  • O.o that scared the crap out of me for some reason...sounded...macabre o.o

  • I think most of Shel's works can be recited well bright and cheerfully or dark and melancholic.

  • can u say... creepy!!

    i love this poem tho.

  • i dont know who wrote it, but i like it..ill..o yeah, an--shel kicks ass...

  • satan eats cheez whiz

  • wierd al yankovich? :P

  • No.  "Weird Al" Yankovic

  • PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. You Suck.

  • carry on! keep going! what fun! (with a crreeeepy sort of subtext). good effect.

  • Interesting stuff, I liked the visual effects.

  • omg that was so gay. shel silver stien would smack you . this was emo and omg....shell silverstien is not emo. you suck and i hate you

  • Fuck off. v.v It was cool and unique. There's no reason at all to come here and insult this. If you don't like it, get the hell away and don't leave rude comments! And at LEAST learn to spell his name right, dipshit. Shel SilverSTEIN. Retards, all of you. >< --Judo

  • omg. thats scary but kewl. very scary

  • that was cool...I always loved Shel Silverstein.

  • I think "Creepy" is an understatement. I love it!

  • That was cool i love shel silversteins work

  • That is cool. Never thought of mixing shel silverstien with a vocorded voice and a floating eye. . . nice out come.

    ~Peace.

  • that was pretty cool.

  • Damn what kinda crap... If you want to see somebody really putting sth in, visit www.bottleguy.com...

  • holy shit that freaks me out!

  • the voice and video r creepy, but i like the poem

  • I loved the combination of solitary, fluttering eye image with the overlaid dialog at counterpoint to the visuals. Nice Job!

    "cat"

  • I love Mr. Silverstein. <3

  • I thought that was great. I've always been a fan of Shel Silverstein.

  • Creepy...

  • Muito Louco!

    curti!

  • wow! that was amazing!! CREEPY but AMAZING!!

    nice voice

  • i think it was amazing! i love shel silverstein!

  • ok...i have to ay two things:1. wierd.../ cool.,2. eww

  • Wow, this is a really interesting medium and piece. Beautiful!

  • IT MAID ME THINK ABOUT LIFE

  • It honestly made me think too...

  • Why pick such a fun poem to go along with such a "creepy" effect?

  • Because in todays world when you do somthing creative/fun they think your wired? Try swinging on light posts sining "Im singing in the Rain" The cops will be there in about 10 minutes. *True story*

  • dats such a gay movie it's mike jack gay

  • wonderful, i wish this poem was written by me to be honest :>

  • cool..i love shel!!!

  • I LOVE THAT POEM!!

  • Holy creepy.

    I love shel though.

  • I think this is a great video. I'm actually writing a paper about it. Keep up the good work.

  • very fascinating and yet I was taken aback...totally creepy and satisfying

  • omg! how strong form of expresion

  • made me sleepy

  • scary, but good.

  • How was that cary ? ^^

  • Oh, wonderful! I haven't read much from you, but that was great!!! I totally agree with you.

  • wasn't that an eye?

  • Shel Silverstein was amazing. I have two of his poem books, Where the Sidewalk Ends and Falling Up. This video really brightened my day. Thanks.

    <3

  • DO you know of Shel Silverstein's work with David Allen Coe?

  • I thought it was pretty cool.

  • Wow, that's awesome, cool voice affects. Shel Silverstein is a wonderful poet.

  • Awesome... Loved it. Neato effects and love the Silverstein! :) Thanks for sharing

  • i thought the peom was cool, but the voice is slightly frightening

  • This was the first video I saw from you. Posted on July 20th. The exact day, this year that a close friend (who always put something silly in the world) passed away. Not only is this video wonderful in a poetic sense, but it makes me think of my friend. You rock, McGruder.

  • this is one of my favorite poems although the voice did scare me initially as i was not paying attention to when it finished loading. but i love this, this poem is the VERY REASON i dance in my kitchen.

  • An even better place for the more illiterates to start would be "The Giving Tree" as it's a little more serious and makes more sense to those with a lack of imagination. Shel Silverstein was definitely a genius and this vid was definitely nutty but that seemed to be the point of the poem, no? People need to lighten up and learn to have a little fun in life.

  • Ox1, I agree with you. Shel was a genius. Problem here is a lack of readers. For you idiots who are talking shit, see if you can find "The Great American Smokeoff" or "Sarah Sylvia Cynthia Stout" and get back to me. better yet, read his BOOKS. Where The Sidewalk Ends is a good place to start...

  • Heh, I grew up on this...

    "...I just wrap my hair

    around my bare

    and down the road I goes."

    Sorry, I just loved that poem

    ...and Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me, Too

    ...and Ladies First

    *Sigh* It's been, what?, 20 years since I've read them? I had Where The Sidewalk Ends and There's A Light On In The Attic, both.

  • what the fuck is this?

  • Shel silverstein w.t.f

  • To everyone who said this was retarded, creepy, stupid, etc - I want you to do 2 things. The first is quite obvious - go fuck yourself. Second, go get some goddamn culture. It's called poetry assholes, and no, diddy and the rest of them aren't poets.

    Shel Silverstien was an amazing poet, and I thought this video was an awesome interpretation and recitation of his poem.

  • thats retarded and creepy

  • nah, its a standard in iMovie

  • Cool..but not that original. I like the voice..it makes it creepy.

  • That's nothing but a simple filter on the video....correct me if I'm wrong, but it might be one of the standard ones on Final Cut Pro. :O (I don't use Final Cut)

  • w.t.f. That was so, really creepy and made no sense

  • Creepy.

  • Wtf ur a dope

  • Shel Silverstein FTW!

  • I thought it was cool :)

  • That was creepy....i'm scared THANKS FOR GIVING ME NIGHTMARES

  • Your voice is annoying

    Silly is such a pediphilic word

  • Far too creepy. And not even your own poem. Nor is the eye thing even original.

  • dull maybe boring postively interesting not

  • wtf that wasnt creative, that was just a goddamn poem

  • ok. atta make something creepy out of kiddy poetry.

  • Very creative & highly original.

    "cat"

  • ummm, what the...

  • aye to that

  • YouTube's motto.

  • I love this, it's inspired me to draw today. It's short but it's makes quite an impact on me. Thank you for the inspiration.

  • cool.

  • :)

  • Heh.

    That's a unique perspective.

  • im sorry but thats disturbing

  • =O Wow, that was cool.

  • Pretty Damn Cool!

  • I love that creepy voice!!!

  • Thanks for turning a nice, fun poem into something that sounds like it came from the Book of Satan.

  • dats kinda good ^^

  • ...that ain't been there before.

    Excellent but short.

  • Why did you suddenly have to make my childhood freaky T_T

  • GREAT!!!

  • First: Congrats on being a pigheaded bigot! You win the gold star.

    Second: Dude, he was black.

    Moron.

  • Whoa, wrong window. Meant to say:

    "Second: Dude, he died in '99. Respect? Any?"

  • That's pretty creepy...

  • <3 Shel Silverstein.

  • fucking creepy....

  • good job fulfilling text of poem. i liked it, glad it wasn't longer :P

  • I loved it

  • What is the purpose of this video? This doesnt show anything cool. poems nice, but its used kinda not nice in this video

  • I think the point is that the video is supposed to be doing what the poem advises... but I dunno...

  • i see milk flying out of an ant's earlobes . . . but an ant doesn't have earlobes said the security guard. thats why i fly to get the milk from his earlobes. pass the pipe please.

  • what the fuck is this shit?

  • oh i have a new one: stop being a cliche art egotist

  • I SECOND THAT!

  • woooooowowowowowwwwwwooooooooo­weeeeeeeeee how artsy.

    a waste of my goddamn 24 seconds

  • this is just plain old acting like a tard, sorry for telling the truth

  • ACE! :D

  • Trippeh Shiaht

  • ..Tripy shit

  • AW! You just reminded me how much I grew up loving Shel's books! I have to run out and find a used copy of Where The Sidewalk Ends now! Thank you for that, it was so strange and magical at the same time. *sigh*

  • from one poet to Shel Silverstein, I belive that was something beautiful. You all have no poetic talents if you can't see what he has given you. Something Crazy. Something... Out of the ordinary? Besides, if you didnt like it why the fuck did you watch it?

  • that was way to freaky i'm freaked out.

  • fuck

  • That's it, I'm gonna take a shot of my DICK and read a haiku, let's see if YT's gonna feature that too.

  • hahahhahahahaha. that'd make an awesome video response.

  • Hmm... that's odd, but something new. ^__^

  • that was just stupid. And retarded. All at the same tinme

  • i liked shel silverstien but i thought his pems were FUNNY not creepy

  • I am afraid.

  • That was cool. I like the voice.

  • this = gay no talent y everyone lik it so much

  • thank you for returning to the video for a SECOND time to express how "gay" you feel it is, I will return to the drawing board to try to meet your high standards

  • As with your talent at spelling and grammar.

  • that was probably the scariest thing i have ever seen... i will probably have nightmares tonight... thanks

    ...she'd scour the pots and scrape the pans...

    Love Shel!

  • I love that.

    flippin sweet.

  • ur voice souns too scary to be silly xD

  • I don't recall him being a kids writer... in fact, the only place I've seen most of his work featured was old Playboy magazines..

  • Yeah, he wrote a bunch of kids' poetry -- there's a book called "Where the Sidewalk Ends", and "The Giving Tree" is supposed to be for kids too. I didn't know about Playboy.

  • Cool, I didn't know that.. he also did a song called "I got stoned and I missed it"

  • way cool! i need to see your work on documenta 12! keep it up!

  • Very good.

  • how artistic...

  • Creepy

  • Is that a horse's eye? It doesn't look human.  I bet it's a COW'S EYE! The voice kind of sounds bovine, too.

  • that was stupid!
