To Suess.. or not to Suess...

Ever had a rhythm stuck in your mind?

Something like Suess with his Cat and his rhymes?

At this moment I do.

 

I don't want colored meat

or mean nasty guys,

I don't fit on a speck or live in a pocket.

I am just me and I love it.

 

This rhythm may not make sense.

But neither does hopping on Dads or tying horns to your pets.

This is random and coarse with some smooth fitted in.

Childhood memories coming back and no longer dim.

We long for the days where nonsense was fact

Try as we may we can't get those times back.

So I'll enjoy my socks and box and fox

And i promise to look out for that dreadful lorax!

 

**I'll skip down the lane where memories meet.

I'll share with my children the wonders of this world,

Where imagination and reality can become swirled.**
