Dr. Seuss scared me as a child. They were the first American books I ever read and as a picky eater, I was very concerned about these sociopathic creatures who break into the homes of law-abiding Americans & force their disgusting green dairy & pork products on them. The prospect of an anarchistic cat running amok in my home & getting me in trouble also really worried me when I learned I would be moving to the US.
My kids were asking if they were going to cancel Dr. Seuss' birthday (not the party, the actual birthday!) because it's a snow day and there will be no celebration at school.
@Eeva: It's not the people so much as the career path they've chosen I'm freaked by their inability to touch and the stripes on their t-shirts that are woven

Explains a LOT.

A fact so pure and simple indeed.
For the man gave my school some much needed money,
To build a library at my Alum uni called UCSD.
The library looks unique like a grand space ship,
Where many students spend their hours.
Oh! its where I learned to love new shit,
And for that Mr. Geisel, I now have more powers.
Thanks Theo!

Teaching us right and wrong over his life-span
If only he wrote about the joys of sucking on a teat
They we would all think that other post was neat!

He could share his thoughts, his art
to say whether or not it's smart
to let a newbie
suck your booby!

I love him to I love him fro.
I'll read him in my tiny place.
I'd read his books in outer space.
I'll slap the bish who does not see
You should, you would, you must agree!
03/02/09
My dear, I think we'll all agree
This rhyme to be the best we'll see
And so I think it only fair
To nominate that comment there
For the best comment of the day
Come one, come all, let's not delay,
But let us all communicate
And conclude there is no debate;
We've chosen who we'll nominate!
(I hope you do not think I jest,
When I say that it is the best,
It is a cut above the rest,
To say the least, I would suggest)
I'm off, in order to dispense
My nomination to hortense!

Norton I give a heart to you,
You are too lovely to be true!

My favorite Seuss homage:
What shall we do with this uppity jew?

And Happy Birthday Texas! It our Independence Day!

y'all are fucking dead to me. I mean it this time!

I'm not so great with rhyme
My thoughts turn on a dime
I like tequila with lime
But I can't stand people who mime.
03/02/09
Now Kruschev my dear
Let's try to be kind
I may have a fear
I hide behind
And others may join in
When I quietly say
"I know it's a sin
But I can't rhyme - not today!"
So please don't ignore me
Though I may not rhyme
I'd love to let you see
That my skills will come in time.
03/02/09
But rhyming is easy if you aren't obtuse!
And it's the only way to honor the good Dr. Seuss.
03/02/09
You even hate Marcel Marceau?
And Charlie Chaplin? Please say no.
03/02/09
Both of you are rhyming like a seasoned pro!
I suspect your hesitations to be merely for show.
03/02/09
as the career path they've chosen
I'm freaked by their inability to touch
and the stripes on their t-shirts that are woven
umm, boo i suck at this
03/02/09
But did Seuss change his original name
To the one which attained such a level of fame
- and note, my speculation's merely idle -
Because so little rhymed with Geisel?
03/02/09
An excellent question! I do believe your theory,
as rhymes for "Geisel" would make anyone weary.
03/02/09
Stripes are appropriate, most of the time
They are very conducive to those who rhyme-
You could take the other road, like Chaucer
Rhyme about fable, Parson, or saucer
You may find good, perhaps even better
To rhyme in iambic pentameter.
03/02/09
1000 points for rhyming in iamb.
Friending you now. You're smarter than I am.
03/02/09
Happy birthday, Dr. Seuss! Your books taught me to read.
