Dr. Seuss
Theodor Seuss Geisel ( /ˈɡaɪzəl/; March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991) was an American writer, poet, and cartoonist most widely known for his children's books written under the pen names Dr. Seuss, Theo LeSieg and, in one case, Rosetta Stone.[1]
He published 46 children's books, which were often characterized by imaginative characters, rhyme, and frequent use of trisyllabic meter. His most celebrated books include the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Horton Hatches the Egg, Horton Hears a Who!, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. Numerous adaptations of his work have been created, including 11 television specials, four feature films, a Broadway musical and four television series. He won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958 for Horton Hatches the Egg and again in 1961 for And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street.

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.” “Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple The Zode in the Road of Dr Seuss Did I ever tell you about the young Zode, Who came to two signs at the fork in the road? One said to Place One, and the other, Place Two. So the Zode had to make up his mind what to do. Well…the Zode scratched his head, and his chin and his pants. And he said to himself, “I’ll be taking a chance If I go to Place One. Now, that place may be hot! And so, how do I know if I’ll like it or not? On the other hand though, I’ll be sort of a fool If I go to Place Two and find it too cool. In that case I may catch a chill and turn blue! So, maybe Place One is the best, not Place Two, But then again, what if Place One is too high? I may catch a terrible earache and die! So Place Two may be best! On the other hand though… What might happen to me if Place Two is too low? I might get some very strange pain in my toe! So Place One may be best,” and he started to go. Then he stopped, and he said, “On the other hand though…. On the other hand…other hand…other hand though…” And for 36 hours and a half that poor Zode Made starts and made stops at the fork in the road. Saying, “Don’t take a chance. No! You may not be right.” Then he got an idea that was wonderfully bright! “Play safe!” cried the Zode. “I’ll play safe. I’m no dunce! I’ll simply start out for both places at once!” And that’s how the Zode who would not take a chance Got no place at all with a split in his pants. You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go. ~ Dr Seuss Dr. Seuss** How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before it’s afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon? |
The Juice By Seuss***
I did not kill my lovely wife. I did not slash her with a knife. I did not bonk her on the head. I did not know that she was dead. I stayed at home that fateful night. I took a limo, then took a flight. The bag I had was just for me. My bag! My bag! Hey, leave it be! When I came home, I had a gash. My hand was cut from broken glass. I cut my hand on broken glass. A broken glass did cause that gash. My friend, he took me for a ride. All through LA, from side to side. From north to south, we took a ride. But from the cops we could not hide. My trial lasted for one year. A year! A year! Just sitting here! The DNA, the HEM, the HAW! The circus-hype the viewers saw! A year! A year! Just sitting here! Did you do this awful crime? Did you do this anytime? I did not do this awful crime. I could not, would not, anytime. Did you take this person's life? Did you do it with a knife? I did not do it with a knife. I did not, could not, kill my wife. I did not do this awful crime. I could not, would not, anytime. Did you hit her from above. Did you drop this bloody glove? I did not hit her from above. I cannot even wear that glove. I did not do it with a knife. I did not, could not, kill my wife. I did not do this awful crime. I could not, would not, anytime. The glove you see it doesn't fit The lawyer says you must acquit Acquit because the cops all lied Acquit, acquit the lawyer cried The jury came back verdict in hand and silence fell across the land Not guilty, not guilty they did decree Not guilty, not guilty, you must set him free And now I am free, I can return To my house for which I yearn. And to my family whom I love. Now would you please return my glove!! |
