Wonderful smart—thinking Dr. Theophrastus
Has sold poetry books the utterly fastest.
His lines are tricky. They rhyme and dance.
His words are sticky. They preen and they prance.
His rhyming books make people insanely happy.
They are whimsical and fun, powerfully snappy.
With a whistle and a wink, they go along sweetly.
With a thistle painted pink, they are cartooned completely.
They make us laugh, they tickle our funny bones.
They brighten giraffes, who are asking for bank loans.
They make crazy people smile and toot and sometimes laugh.
Keep 4-H kids company while they are lying with their calf.
Dr. T’s poems are creative and fun, lively and jazzy.
They are head-spinning works of art, done amazingly snazzy.
They take astronauts and fling them high above the moon.
And toss whirly whippsy wiggins in yesterday’s monsoon.
They are lively and quick, understood by the common man.
They keep us shiny and slick, and help us love poetry at hand.
They delight all my locked up nephews and my stocked up nieces.
They thrill the cocked up roosters and owls, who love them to pieces.
