Wonder??? Wednesday

I thought it would be fun to start off the new prompt at Poets United in a zany direction. Who better than Dr. Seuss to take us there.  He was the man that so many of us enjoyed in our youth, read to our children, and  some are now enjoying with their grandchildren.

Here is my silly adaptation.  I chose to write a tribute type poem to Dr. Seuss.  I must say "Wacky Wednesday" did invade my life.  Once I discovered the book and read it with my daughter, life changed.  We celebrated "Wacky Wednesday" with dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner.  Once in a Blue Moon I would let my children eat dessert first.  I know wacky, right!  I did make sure it was something with some protein in it, like Peanut Butter Chocolate pudding!   I hope in honor of Dr. Seuss, you too will embrace Wednesday and do something wacky! 

Dr. Seuss

you silly goose

you set my mind a whirling

like oysters do, I too began a pearling

You made reading fun, when I was young

your rhyming gave me a twisted tongue

I learned to love the abuse

oh, Dr. Seuss you silly goose

Children came and you again entered my brain

allowing me to dance down memory lane

my thoughts scrambled like green eggs n' ham

 I need to live like a clam

or maybe like Horton hears a Who

then I think of red and blue and things one n' two

the Grinch reminds me of Cindy Lou

Then Wacky Wednesday had that silly shoe

How do you do it..get in my head

 you nested in my capillary bed

If I ran the Zoo

Horton would not have heard the who

The Cat in the hat

would have found a bat

inside his chapeau

How would we grow?

Would I have Hopped on Pop

What would I talk about at the bus stop?

Sneetches would their bellies have stars

Would a  green dog in a yellow tree have cars?

 

Oh, Dr. Seuss

You silly goose

would a fox wear socks

would Knox find a box

would my tongue be in knots

Thanks Dr. Seuss for all the crazy thoughts!!!

Thanks for tying my tongue in a bow

Thanks for letting me grow

Thank you, Thank you

 Dr. Seuss

for being zany like a goose

for giving me an excuse

n' setting my imagination on the loose***
