I met a girl in Chester
Who said I could not best her
Ten shots of Gin
I did not win
She was the best contester
To live is to be:
Responsible contestant,
revolutionary conscious,
propositional contester...
Not living is:
Not to propose alternatives,
do not perform possible
media changes and
times of the ends...
cannot live :
Just staying in comfort,
practicing half-truths,
looking only for the middle ground...
Do not accept any
Status Quo passively, and not
be content just to sight life... and
not live it fully...
Aux poésie tous...
Allons enfánt de la vie...
Poètes aux armes...
Let's fight...!
Bruce the goose
got invited
got excited
He believed
He received
...an invitation
from the nation
A city named Who's ville
What a thrill
is to be hardy
at a birthday party
Two-Time Deuce
The recluse
Chop down the spruce
Made it a cane
As he walk down lane
Drove a car a salad bowl
Zeus the moose
Like to eat produce
Ice cream and cake
He did hate
Would comb fur with a rake
For heaven sake
Mongoose caboose
Got loose
His train
Got stuck in the drain
All arrived
At a quarter-to five
Bruce the Goose
Two Time Deuce
Zeus the Moose
All chanted Hip-Hip hooray
They did all say
Today the day
Everyone salute
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss
