They share it. We often come across a headline of a paper using some phrases of the songs such as “Who Killed …” or “Some Like it Hot.” The musicians like Paul McCartney and Toto made a song quoting a song of Mother Goose. Just like they did, Shel Silverstein has written a poem quoting it. Except the works collected in his books of poetry some were just written for the magazine Playboy which we can see in the web now. One of them is called “Uncle Shelbyʼs Kiddy Corner”(1965) which has three parodies of Mother Goose. They would have been written for adult readers who had been once a child. He revised some parts of the original Mother Goose to relativize it. For instance, he added a picture of a foot just getting into a shoe to solve the problem of an old woman living in a shoe. He displayed a sense of dark humor to relativize the songs of Mother Goose. He tried to write it from the point of view of a crooked adult like him. Where the Sidewalk Ends(1974) is his first book of poetry and it contains some poems quoting Mother Goose. Also in A light in the Attic(1981), Falling Up(1996) and Everything On It(2011) we come across a poem alluding to Mother Goose. Some of his poems show he was sure to read Mother Goose and digest its world and characters in his childhood. It is not only a word or phrasing but the senses of sound, humor and nonsense that he shared with Mother Goose. Without using the same words or phrases of Mother Goose, we can find out similarities between Silverstein and Mother Goose about the effects of sound, the logic of nonsense and the resonance of words. Some mother goose songs gave him a hint to revise them and made him write their parodies. I think we should consider two points about Silversteinʼs parody of Mother Goose. One is his critical point of view which might come from the sense of counter culture of 60sʼ and 70sʼ. He sides with children and argues with the sense of value of adults. Another point is that he is conscious of the hidden or unseen power relationships in Mother Goose poems. He rather picks up them and tries to bring them to the front. The reason why he is sensitive to the power relationships is that heʼd like to put children above adults.}, pages = {11--24}, title = {シェル・シルヴァスタインのマザーグース:同化と相対化}, year = {2021}, yomi = {コイズミ, ジュンイチ} }
