Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too
by Shel Silverstein
from the book "Where the Sidewalk Ends" (1974)
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, and 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 too
Never returned to the world they knew,
And nobody
Knows what's
Happened to
Dear Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.
I really like this poem (: I love the words he chose..tickle and pickle.. lol haha I dont think this poem requires much explanation. Ickle me, pickle me, tickle me too never returned from where they went. I think they went to some place happier...they wanted freedom, so they left.
