To This Day Seuss Youre Still On the Loose
March 2nd is the birthday of Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss so,
having grown up with his wonderful works, I've written a little tribute:
Happy Birthday Theodore Geisel,
here’s a meditation mat, made of sisal;
I bought it in Mexico for your last birthday
but, you’re number was up and you went away.
Although it’s belated, it fits your stone well;
though you probably don’t need it, where you now dwell.
You gave us such joy with your, “Cat In The Hat”;
he just charmed everyone, including the bats.
“Green Eggs And Ham”, we ate at our school,
every St. Patty’s day, it was the cook’s rule!
You taught us life lessons with a “Who’s” call;
that "A person's a person, no matter how small."
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better, It's not."
That Lorax was wise as the wisest old owl;
yet he truly was, not a flying fowl!
Without the Grinch, in our lives each Christmas,
generosity never ever, would go the distance.
You made children smile, spread caboodles and oodles;
of happiness, joy and colorful doodles.
So please accept this belated gift;
know through your books we still sift
and revel in the joys and laughter you’ve spread;
as we read children to sleep in their beds.
