Mrs.S

He’s not a real doctor.

I thought you should know.

But you’ve probably figured that out.

The whole idea

seemed rather silly to me

But he urged, just hear me out!

 

First, was the cat

Always pawing and scratching

Making a mess of the house

And what’s even worse

Is that cat in his hat

Not once tried to catch a mouse!

 

Red Fish and Blue

they are here too

But kept in a separate bowl

I’m not sure why,

I don’t care to ask

The answer not worth the trouble

 

Books stacked high,

a rainbow of knowledge

tottering towards the sky.

As I cook, and I clean

One Fish and Two

jump up, trying to fly.

 

“The books, the books,” he shouts in a flurry

As I rush to steady the stack

With him for my husband

I’m never quite sure

just what will happen next!

 

You should’ve been around last Christmas time

Don’t worry, not a thing is missing

That green furry thing

is quite old in his age and

came by the doc’s inviting

 

 

 

 

 

They sat around talking

who’s who in the world

over a cup of tea

 

but what the doc wanted

was the mean thing

as the star

in his new movie

 

Then there was Horton

A big surprise, he found on one of his trips

He wasn’t so bad, it was just his size

That caused the disturbance

 

But don’t pity me

I married the man

And oh the places we went.

Just for the record,

When Sam made us brunch,

It made my stomach quite sick.

 

The day we met

I knew he was special

Doodling all the time

“Those really are quite good”

I mentioned to him

After that, he made me his wife

 

He told me one day

what he wanted to do

write for kids

across the globe

I stood by his side

and what can I say

he’s done a really great job!
