Dr Seuss Unloosed - Jump Contest

Horton heard a Who
   Or Doo-wa-diddy see
One fish, two fish
   Slipped onto a dish
For that Sam-I-am
   That Sam-I-am
Who never ever liked
   Green Eggs and Ham
Since 'twas too wet to go out
   too cold to play ball
So, Sally and Sam and I
   Just played jacks in the hall
While His Highness himself
   The Vipper of Vip
Booked a most unconventional trip
   Aboard a horse and wagon
   And can you imagine
That it all happened on Mulberry Street...

Gershon, this was a trip down memory lane... I grew up with the good doctor, and enjoyed reading him to my kids as well. He's timeless and your tribute to him was a fun romp! ~ John
