Shel Silverstein Poem Analysis 7

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too
By Shel Silverstein
The very first moment you read the poem it floods you with its funny and easy rhyming. But although it is at first perceived as a “story” for children, its lines hide a deeper message: everything is possible, as long as you are willing to give it a try.
The three lively characters somehow make you envy them for their great adventure and the feeling of joy and excitement floods the entire poem (“Hooray!", "What fun!"). The whole depiction is vivid and literally loud.
Despite this joy and happiness we are told in the end that Ickle Me, Pickle Me and Tickle Me went up so high in their flying shoe that nobody knows where they are now and what has happened to them.

The entire poem is to be seen as an encouragement to let your imagination free and allow yourself to always try out new experiences, no matter how they may end. I strongly recommend this poem to all the people who need to be reminded that life has to be filled with excitement, joy and constant adventures.
