Roll Over Seuss

Like Many I loath  Politics 
But Worse "Censorship"  

Seuss a Racist ? Who's next ?
The pop-n-fresh doe boy


Thing One and Thing two
Is racial I must say
Everyone could see
It was written just that way

The only trouble that I have 
Is knowing who is best
Because they look Sooooo much alike
Its puts me to the test

I guess it's just because 
There's only One that's number One
Therefore number Two
Somehow is feeling shunned 

And why profile fish
Stating some are red or blue
I'm not sure which one's insulted
But I know that he should sue

The poor soul, that stole Christmas
And was called an awful name
He didn't mean to be a thief
It was his childhood we must blame

But it's good that there are people
Like Liberians in our schools
To choose for us which books are good
And which ones that are cruel
 
So before you toss the "Cat In Hat"
And don a righteous stare
Go out side your school to see
What flag is flying there.

Yo, J. T., you really nailed this one Brother. Seuss is one of my favorites, and as for the flag, if it ain't our it shouldn't be flying. I get on my soap box when I see anyone disrespecting Old Glory. And, if I was ever present when somebody stuck a match to it they would have to burn along with it! As a Vietnam Vet, I stand by the flag and all that it represents. Semper Fi
