Awww Monday celebrating Dr. Seuss

 Thank you to our   

Host Comedy Plus



A tale of how Dr. Seuss saved the day

When our daughter was six, we took a family 
road trip the Disney World.  This was not our first visit; however, it was  probably the one our daughter remembers the most.
We had lots of snacks and fun car games to play.
Once we near South of the Border, in South Carollilna.
We took turns reading all the road signs that Pedro displayed. 
Every so often, we saw a signs welcoming you to a city or annoucing what county you were entering.  Our daughter said these were 'doors' to the city, county.
At each sign she asking where was the door to Florida.

As the great Dr. Seuss taught us in
If you think you have nothing to do
READ
We gathered all the books we had 
Thing 1 and Thimg 2
were invited too
We had a recipe book about
Green eggs and ham was and all about preparing 1, 2, 3 Fish
Mr. Brown took us to town 
sometimes he was rightside up other times he was
upside down.
Hop on Pop's jumping around made us giggle
 Cat in a hat
was favorite so we read about the most fashionable cat in town.
We finally saw the Door to Florida!!
Our eyes were crossed, we were speaking in rhymes.
To this day there are some of those books I can still quote.
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss your books
opened our minds, taught us to imagine
and most of all to remember
"to be YOU, because YOU are 
special and unique and always sparkle.

Dr. Seuss said it best
  • "Today you are You, that is truer than true. ...
