Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

 

In honor of the late, great Dr. Seuss' (Theodor Geisel) birthday, I've written the following poem.  I hope that he'd like it.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

It's Dr. Seuss' birthday

and though this is quite late

we've gathered together several friends

to help us celebrate.

We'll have a birthday dinner-

perhaps green eggs and ham-

the food cooked by none other

than Seuss pal Sam I Am.

There'll be lots of fun and games here.

The Vipper of Vipp will preside.

The Fuddnuddler Brothers are ready

to spread the news far and wide.

The dress code for the party

will be casual and fun.

Both Fox in Sox and Cat in Hat

will be dressed for the sun.

Yertl the Turtle is the party's host.

It'll be here on the beaches.

You'll see Red Fish and Blue Fish

and Plain and Star-Belly Sneetches.

The East Beach Beast and the West Beach Beast

will, for once, get along.

The North-Going Zax and the South-Going Zax

will join together in song.

The Whos will sing the birthday song,

led by Cindy Lou Who,

and joining in to spread the cheer

you'll hear Thing One and Thing Two.

The Grinch himself will bring a gift,

a pair of Pale Green Pants.

And we'll all hope our picnic

will not be spoiled by ants.

Marvin K. Mooney will say goodbye

and when our party ends

we'll all patiently wait 'til next year

for Seuss' birthday again!
