Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

A Birthday Poem for Dr. Seuss (with my apologies)
A tribute to Seuss, Ted Geisel the great!
Today is your birthday- one hundred and 8!
And though you’re long gone, you’re gruvvulous groovy,
with product endorsements and “Lorax: The Movie”.
But I love your books, of which I am smitten-
carefully crafted and beautifully written.
I read them quite often. Oh Horton! What fun!!
I laugh like I’m seven (though I’m 51).
So here’s to the Dr.- a hero of mine.
We’ll toast you next year at a hundred and 9!
