Ah, Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book. My parents brought home a copy of this book when I was a kid. Couldn't tell you my exact age but we're not talking little kid. Not young enough to take all the entries at face value. I thought the book was funny, and I was right.
I didn't, at the time, know about Shel Silverstein's career as a singer-songwriter. But that's what a lot of people know him as primarily. In fact "A Boy Named Sue", one of Johnny Cash's best known songs, is technically a Shel Silverstein cover. You can see where they came from the same mind.
