A Broken A Not Haiku

Get the title? 
It too was broken, 
twice.

It was fool’s gold, 
instead.  

Dr. Seuss
once wanted 
to change the world, 
so did we
(you and me).  

He used silver, 
colors, 
writing,
uncomfortable 
honesty, 
and a tiddlywinks-
wink…
wink of humor 
to white out
all the sad
problems.

Indeed.

He died before 
the whiteout died.  

(So did 
Roald Dahl).
