Enough- For Dr Seuss

“Enough! Enough!” my mother said “I’ve had enough, now go to bed! No, not in five, no, not in ten, You’d better be asleep by then! You’ve been naughty, you’ve been bad, Your behavior makes me very sad! You must go now, you must not tarry, Stop! Do not hit your brother Larry! Now you must, you must confess! Confess that you made this awful mess! I do not like what you have done, It is not good, it is not fun. One, two, three! Now go to bed! Yep, that is what my mother said! 5/19/16

Love this. Would make a good children's book. Also, with a few easy omissions, this piece works as sung to the melody of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or, the theme song for The Beverly Hillbillies. In good humor. GeraldOliver
