I love Neil Gaiman. I'm not sure I enjoy his writing especially (though all of this children's lit is fabulous), but I really enjoy his bloggings and his public speaking. This poem, though, I really liked. He's done one other poem (for a personal friend's child, Blueberry Girl) that I enjoyed as well. But Insructions is just so. <3
You know how everyone and their shoe seemed to get Dr. Seuss's Oh The Places You'll Go read to them for various graduations? I recorded this instead, and sent it to my friend when she graduated high school. Because you're right--and I love how you put that--it makes you think of childhood, and the fairy tales that raised you.
