I Asked Shel Silverstein About the Meaning of Life

A Conversation with Shel Silverstein

Hey, Shel – I know you’re busy brooding right now, but I have an idea that might perk you up.

Want to get Subway for lunch?

I knew that would get you excited. So what do you want?

I know – it can be a tough decision.

BMT?

Black Forest Ham?

Veggie Delight?

What? You’re not helping me out much here, Shel.

I tell you what – why don’t you just go with me? That way you can see all your options. It’s pretty cold, though. You’ll probably want to wear a fur coat with a floppy collar.

*25 MINUTES LATER*

Okay, a rotisserie chicken wrap for me and a meatball sub for you. Hey, your sub is pretty messy. Why don’t we eat on the deck?

Let’s dig in.

*NOM NOM NOM NOM*

What?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Oh, you’re trying to say grace. Sorry.
