After Seuss

For us, Doctor Seuss was way cooler than Goose or Aesop, the Grim Brothers, or that Greek god Zeus, Mr. Rogers by a hair, although not the Muppets, where Cookie and Piggy were our favourite puppets. But we were surprised on our socially distant walk when this amphibian leapt up and started to talk or rather sing, how it’s hard to be green plagues cut pollution but the rest was obscene. People dying like flies while flies were doing well and if we’ll get through it, time only would tell for the cards had been dealt, though Trump need a bump from the Joker or Fauci to help flatten the hump. Then his frog skin grew blotchy and he started to cry we tightened our facemasks, and waved a long-distance goodbye.
