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!
