#drseuss - Hello Poetry

On her walk, she treaded the path, brainstorming the incident and facing the aftermath. Along came a man, walking on his own, little did she have in mind, this is someone she had known. “Why the long face? why the tears, why the chin so low? May you open your ears?” She replied, “I wish I cold tell you, but I really don’t know. Who I am or where I belong. I thought I loved myself but perhaps I am wrong.” The man looked at her astonished by her honesty, he could see that she needed to be told she was fine and deserved to be happy. “Oh the places you’ll go, That is a book I wrote I’m sure You must know?” “Yes, I read it as a child, When it was okay to be Fun, crazy, and wild. Wait a second, Dr. Seuss, is it you?! I read your books growing up, and the meanings were oh so true!” “I love your feedback, very genuine, you raise the bar. Now what’s wrong with who, or how you are? Do they say you take it too far?” “I lose friends every year. I come off as too strong, I lose control when I go out and they say I no longer belong. I then get excluded and I spend weekend nights alone, I don’t want it to be this way, I want to show everyone I have grown. I’m the reason drama happens but I only want to Have fun. I told them I love myself, And they told me to go away, Run.” “Who is they? Might I ask, You’re like the “Cat in the hat.” But the mess gets cleaned up in the end, You just have to say, “Yes I did that.”” Knowing when to draw the line Is just as important As knowing how to have A real good Time.” “That’s the thing, I don’t know when. I think I’m being too loud But when I’m quiet I feel drowned. I feel like I have only myself, I’m like the Grinch, I’m alone on a mountain so angry I have no help. No friends, nobody loves me, wants me, invites me, they tell me they’ve had enough, my frustration is as high as the sky. I hate having no one I don’t know how much more I can try..” “My goodness, you’re so upset, I’m sorry this is how you feel. Now this may sound ironic what I am to tell you, but you are the one who makes it real. You are loved You just have to accept, You have some work to do But you must let go of Regret.” “Mr. Seuss, I live alone and I never sweep my floor. I give my friends space, But they always ask for more.” “But you’re in control, You just need to note, Your confidence is there, Now anchor your boat. Take the anchor out of the ground When you’re ready to go somewhere new. Be a captain, I see a leader in you. Do you remember Horton? The elephant that heard a ‘Who.’ If you spend time solo, Someone like a ‘who,’ Will call for you. They’ll need you. They’ll want you, They’ll be there for you Too. As Horton Said himself, “A person’s a person no matter how small.” The little ‘who’s’ told Horton he did nothing but save them all! Sometimes we people hear what we don’t want, But think of it as honesty and then you let it go and you show them what you got, Like, “You must not hop on pop.” Or, Your heart may grow and you’ll be surrounded for a Christmas Dinner. You are not a loser, You are a winner.” “Thank you, Dr. Seuss, I’m no longer on the loose. I may have had illogical moments, But I have so many things to choose. I may have had a loss, but I am for now on proud to be alive, there will sometimes be a cost, but this is my life, I am the boss! I’m continuing my walk now, I really needed this encounter with you, Thank you for your words of wisdom, And I will wait to hear from my “who.”” “Now I wish you the best of luck, My sweet dear. I love that you live a life of lessons, And have nothing to fear. Your rules are your own, You know what you are after, “Those who mind, Don’t matter, Those who don’t mind, Matter.” Congratulations! Today is your day. You’re off to great places, you’re off and away.” “And I am the person who will decide where I go. Goodbye Dr. Seuss, you’re a true friend, I just have to move on and go forward this story will never end! You are a good man and a blessing of a ‘Who.’ Right now, this moment, I will start happening too. Thank You.”

The 'Who'

On her walk, she treaded the path, brainstorming the incident and facing the aftermath. Along came a man, walking on his own, little did she have in mind, this is someone she had known. “Why the long face? why the tears, why the chin so low?

Green eggs, Spam and grits Sam and Pam had their fill, Then made their way to Main Street Down WhoDat’s Whatsup Hill. Waived "Hi!" to their neighbors To show them that they cared. All smiled except two who Just stood there and glared. Hulu Q Hopps and His shorter half-brother They came from two pops but Shared the same mother. Hopps came at them fast So they quickened their pace Sam and Pam flew past him, Boy, this was a race! Hopps huffed and puffed, While shouting very gruffly: "You better stop now, or I'll treat you roughly!" "Just what have we done To make you so mad?" "If you don't stop right now, I'll do something bad!" Pam and Sam finally stopped, Turning right around, Awaiting their fate while Standing their ground. Hopps wide-eyed and breathless Finally stopped within inches "Listen real closely now, Your see Mr. Pinch is Hot on your trail Looking for retribution Based on your failure To give restitution." "We don't know what that means, We don't know what to say..." "Doesn't matter at all, Pinch is coming your way!" Since Mr. Pinch meant To slow cook their goose, Pam and Sam agreed to do What they learned from Dr. Seuss! They asked all their friends To lend them some help. Eucalyptus, Betty Loo, JaeJae and Miss Kelp. Hortman, Octavius, and Hopps stepped up to bat. Even Kat came back And threw in her hat! Off in the distance The Catawampas growled And soon after that The Terrormasu yowled. Down came Mr. Pinch From atop Mount Dumpit In his impedimenta SUV, Like it or lump it. Rolling into town Entering WhoDat's Square Pinch shouted "Sam and Pam! Are you hiding somewhere?" "You must pay the piper, I'm here to collect. Excuses mean nothing, Your pleas I'll reject!" Pam and Sam stepped forward, Friends forming a line. "Pinch, you won't get away With extortion this time!" With that Betty Loo Pulled out her didgeridoo. The others pulled out Their instruments too. All began playing strong, Singing loud and clear: "You are hostile Mr. Pinch And your breath reeks of stench But we're stronger than you So you can't make us flinch. Mr. Pinch you are mean So you better flee the scene You're a ****** like no other, Mr. Pinch..." They droned on and on, A multi-stanza bonanza: "You're a villain Mr. Pinch... "You are ****** Mr. Pinch... "You are nasty Mr. Pinch... "You're a ****** Mr. Pinch... "You disgust us Mr. Pinch... Mr. Pinch screaming loud With hands to his ears, Made a beeline to his Impedimenta SUV in tears. Then Pinch did the math Calculating the odds He wasn't going to get Anywhere with these clods. "You haven't heard the last of me!" Fist pumping as he shouted. When he left, all WhoDat cheered, Disaster had been routed. Sam and Pam thanked their friends In a way that befits. A WhoDat picnic serving them Green eggs, Spam and grits!

Green Eggs, Spam and Grits

She...she responds to a soothing bath. He...he prefers a different path. They each disrobe from the day's affairs, the formal restraints they each do share. Their clothes lay scattered about the floor, both stand naked at a tiled shore. She eases herself into this sleeve, a temperate knitted liquid weave. He guides the stream from it’s perched spout, the water finding the perfect route. His face is wet, his eyes are shut tight. She prefers ambient candle-light. She gently sponges her supple skin. He grips the soap...oh, so masculine. She contemplates his rugged terrain, he puts his hands out to feel the rain. His caress yields a lathery foam, her fingers begin a downward roam. He too diverges, or so rather, deviates from the task to lather. Much attention in just one region, cleaning can’t motivate this legion. His thoughts of her, and her thoughts of him, nothing stops what’s about to begin. Tremors start from her head to her toes, a smile blossoms as she plateaus. He feels the pressure stiffly increase, it brings to him an immense release. She savours the last rippling quiver. His knees weak from such an endeavour. They catch their breath, and resume their chores, have they been remiss in these detours? Excuse the news they misuse shampoos, they choose to amuse with such taboos. One can’t ignore in the aftermath: he takes showers ... and she takes a bath.

It is ok to look up to others who You admire for one reason or another. But never let anyone look down on you And never ever look down on another. Never let anyone else make you feel small And never ever belittle anyone. You would not like to be looked down on at all, So why then would you look down on anyone?

Now in case your brain stem is loose I'm a big fan of Dr. Seuss And clearly a few of my screws are loose at least I'm not crazy like a moose Now, for those that remember Sam I Am he heavily endorsed Green Eggs And ham persistently and though he cajoled And coaxed the other party wouldn't eat them, not on a plane not on a train, not with a goat, and not on a boat not here, nor there, he wouldn't eat them anywhere! However I'm much older now and now I can say, that old rhyming story holds truth even today so put away all your prejudgements and prejudices Because something beautiful has come by, and if you let that cloud your mind, you'll miss it.
