The sun did not shine
It was windy and gray
As Dr.Seuss fans everywhere
Celebrated today
The birth of their hero
Dr. Theodore Seuss
A man whose rhymes let imaginations run loose
There’s a cat whos hat carried Thing One and Thing Two
There’s Gerald McGrew in If I Ran the Zoo
There’s Horton the elephant hearing wee Whos
And one fish, and two fish, and red fish and blue
Though my personal food preferences are a bit odd I fear
Green eggs and ham I will always hold dear
There are Grinches that steal Christmas
And Sneetches whose bellies have stars
And Sneetches whose bellies have none upon thars
There’s Yertle the turtle king of the pond
On the faraway island of Sala-ma-sond
The five hundred hats of Bartholomew Cubbins
Kept me yearning for more as the hats kept a-comin’
My heart has ached whether we’re talking Yook or Zook
as they try to figure life out in the Butter Battle Book
Perhaps for me the most poignant message I’ve read
Comes from Dr. Seuss last book which I’ve kept in my head
Oh The Places You’ll Go is a story I’ve shared
With many who start a new journey they’ve dared
So, with my head full of brains and my shoes full of feet
I’ll end this trip down Dr. Seuss memory street
Happy 108th birthday and thank you dear Dr. Seuss
For teaching me to love reading whatever I choose.
