Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Oh what a day,

A day it is,

A day of fun, 

Of zip & fizz!

Let's celebrate,

The doc was born. 

No Mr. Geisel,

Nor Theodor.

It's Dr. Seuss,

To me and you,

To Horton 

And to every Who.

He brought his pal,

A giant cat,

A cat who wears

A tall striped hat.

But that's not all we have, 

look here.

There's red fish blue fish

Everywhere! 

He brought another 

In a box.

Oh look, oh look,

A fox in socks!

And who's that with 

The fox you say?

He's green and mean,

but what the hay.

He's not so bad 

To have in a pinch.

I kind of like 

That old mean Grinch.

He brought with him

Green eggs and ham,

And one more chap

Named Sam I am.

The gang's all here,

Let's celebrate,

For Dr. Seuss

Turns one-oh-eight!

I know I'm not much of a poet, but any excuse to

have this much fun is worth the embarrassment.

Thank you, Jennee Thompson, for reminding me how much I love Dr. Seuss!
