Deaf Donald
Missy takes you through a reading of Shel Silverstein’s poem, “Deaf Donald.” This little known poem for children talks about Deaf Donald and Talkie Sue, and how a language barrier led them to lose each other. See the latest edition of Missy’s View to get a taste of poetry!

I love watching your philosophical discussions about anything you see in life! Nice view and thank you for sharing and making my day!
Wonderful clip! Made me wonder why the author didn’t walk up and tell the guy she loved him? He didn’t get the “hug” sign? It is kind of a universal sign. I guess he thought she meant hugging him in goodbye?
Thank you Missy for sharing this poem from this author Shel Silverstien. It brought back memories. When I was a very young gal graduated in High School 1982 , My Mom and Dad brought this book for me to enjoy reading. This is one of my favorite books to read. Have a super day! Susie
