Dr. Suess
By: Robert Herman
(in the style of Dr. Suess)
Theodore “Ted” Suess Geisel,
also known as Dr Suess.
March 2nd, 1904 was not a bore,
For MOTHER Henrietta and FATHER Theodore.
Behind closed doors.
His mom let out a ROAR!
And dad knew he scored.
For that was the day,
They adored their newborn baby.
A Junior Theodore!
At school,
The most popular!
Ted and his sister.
YES SIR!
HIS SISTER!
Ted has a sister.
A sister named Marnie,
Who has things she likes to do.
Some evenings after supper,
Is sit upstairs in her small room
And use her Thinker-Upper.
Ted learned a thing or two,
From his sister’s thinker-upper.
Ted thunk-thunk his way to school.
Ted attended Darkmouth College
For some learned long-term knowledge.
And wrote for the Jack O’ Lantern
And was acknowledged,
As the first time he ever used Dr. Suess.
Dr. Suess he is.
Dr. Sois he was.
Doctor of rhymes of course he was.
HE WAS! HE WAS! HE WAS!
Dr. Suess he was.
Dr. Sois he is.
Doctor of twisters of course mister.
MISTER! HE IS! HE IS! HE IS!
1927 Ted was in heaven and married
beloved Helen.
When Ted found Helen could not bare children.
He wrote his first piece.
A booked called ABC.
T T t t What begins with T?
Ted telling timeless tales to tiny toddlers thirsting tea.
Thingama-this, Thingama-that.
He wrote books like Cat in the Hat.
And Sam I am, from Green Eggs N Ham.
I do! I like them Sam I am.
So, I will read them here and there.
Say! I will read them ANYWHERE!
He wrote,
ONE BOOK
TWO BOOKS
READ BOOKS
DREW BOOKS
By the end folks, forty-six, tongue thrilled, fun filled, tongue twister, kid books.
1991 Ted laid to Rest
TED
BED
Ted in bed.
BED
TED
Bed on Ted.
THE END!

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.

I Love Dr Suess
I love Dr Suess
I love him I do
I love him under a sky fiery red
And under a sky of baby blue
I love him before bed time
Over here and over there
I love him in the in the afternoon
In the morning and everywhere
The Cat in the Hat
And things one and two
All of the craziness in the stories, it
Made me laugh when Horton heard a Who
Don’t know how it could be offensive
It makes me scratch my head
I never found anything offensive
In any of the words I read
I wonder now what will be next
Will they go after mother goose
I will defend and stand firm and state
I love Dr Suess
