Dr Suess and His Shoe Store

"I LIKE NONSENSE, IT WAKES UP THE BRAIN CELLS!" a quote from dear Dr. Suess...... Dr. Suess and his Shoe Store LISTEN, LISTEN! I have BIG NEWS Dr. Suess has a store just full of SHOES.. A GAZILLION shoes I'm sure there must be Line them all up, bet they'd stretch to the sea! Small shoes and tall shoes and some with spots He even has one covered with pink polka dots.. ...... Lots of Dots.... Round shoes and square shoes and OH MY Even lots of cool shoes you don't have to tie! A snake came in cause he was going to school And wearing shoes at school is a VERY strict rule.. Now where could a snake wear a shoe you ask? Well he wore the darn thing like a Halloween mask.. You can buy just one pair if your feeling thrifty But poor old centipede - he had to buy fifty He first bought 25 pair, all were bright yellow Then 25 orange...now he's quite a colorful fellow! A kangaroo complained that his feet were sore So extremely sore he could not hop any more They fixed him up with a spring loaded pair Now he can happily hop from here to there! So if a GRANDUFULOUS sight your longing to see Dr. Suess is waiting at the corner of 7th and G With shoes for the young and shoes for the old HURRY! HURRY! before the purple ones get sold! This is an old poem of mine that I reworked a bit....
