Ode to Dr. Seuss
Dr. Seuss died back in ’91,
But we still remember today,
His writing, because it’s tremendously fun
And full of brand-new words to say.
New words like “schlopp” and like “Lorax”,
New felines, (The Cat in the Hat),
New places, including the Prairie of Prax,
Now how did he come up with that?
New people like old Mr. Brown,
Who really knew how to moo
He also made thunder and lightning sounds
And Seuss wants to know: “Can you?”
In a charming book called Go Dog Go,
The dog asks, “Do you like my hat?”
When the canine reply is a definite “no”
It’s “Goodbye”, she’s gone, just like that.
Wockets in pockets are spotted,
And so are a number of creatures
In the book that such things were allotted,
Illustrating their many strange features.
Yes, Seuss has penned many things,
And in this he has done a great deed,
New readers fly on more confident wings
Since his books have planted the seed.
And now I’m afraid I must go,
So I’ll end this quite nice, with a wink,
To my friend Dr. Seuss, who gave this good advice:
“Think and wonder, wonder and think.”
