HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. SUESS

Well today was the birthday of the late great Dr. Seuss. I can't imagine any kid not enjoying any of the books he wrote. I know my son loves them. Although he didn't care for the green eggs they had at school with their ham, he still loves the story.

Here is a quote from the author:

``I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a
necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life
through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and
that enables you to laugh at life's realities.'' Dr. Suess

My father loves his work and uses it at times when he preaches and has been known to dabble a bit in the style of the ol' Doc as well.

Here is the one he did for my son's class, by the way Dad the teacher said that not only did she love it so did others at the school



A Tribute to Dr. Seuss


Maybe he’s from Whoville but Who really can tell?

He came into our lives and he stayed for a spell.

We grew up with him and he grew with us

And we’ll grow up together if grow up we must.

And when we’ve grown up enough to say that we’re grown,

We will have grown up somewhat but certainly not alone.

Even as grown-ups we won’t be completely up-grown

‘Cause growing doesn’t stop when folks say that you’re grown.

Now let me tell you a Thing One or a Thing Two;

Always make room for that kid inside you.

Eggs don’t have to be yellow; ham can be green.

Even before you’re up-grown, these are things that you’ve seen.

And, if being all grown up takes those things away,

Then just save a bit of growing up for some waaay far-off day.

Keep a cat in your hat and maybe a fish or two.

Tag along with a Horton when he visits a Who.

If Christmas gets stolen, you’ll never be to blame,

‘Cause your eyes always sparkle at the mention of his name.



Nice one Dad :)
