Poetry in Motion - Shel Silverstein - Listen to the Mustn’ts

Listen to the Mustn’ts Shel Silverstein

Listen to the MUSTN’TS, child,
      Listen to the DON’TS
      Listen to the SHOULDN’TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WONT’S
      Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me-
      Anything can happen, child,
  ANYTHING can be
