a random thought, re: Shel Silverstein and Naruto

As I was working on Tug of War, my [livejournal.com profile] 15_minute_fic response for this week, I at one point looked up Shel Silverstein's poem "Hug o'War." That ended up having relatively little to do with the fic as written (though if you were wondering about the title? now you know where my head was), but it did remind me of another Silverstein poem I have always loved:


Listen To The Mustn’ts

Listen to the MUSN’TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN’TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON’TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me-
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.



...So is that Naruto's theme poem or what? :-D
