Theodor Geisel’s birthday's today!
He would have been one hundred eight.
He brought to us the joy of words
With the worlds he did create.
To us he gave
A Cat in a Hat,
A Lorax, a Grinch and a King Looie Katz.
He showed us the world and its many wonders.
He taught us to embrace our blunders.
I think he’d find it sad today
That parents read from screens of gray
And click the pages next to next
To see what happens in the text.
To history is left the flipping.
The torn, worn pages.
The fingers gripping.
But I shouldn't endeavor, whatsoever,
To put words in a mouth
So bold, so clever.
So simply: Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
Your words will live forever.
