Philippe’s Poetry - Words of Rhythm and Rhymes Summary Poem - 5. I Hate this Town - Chapter 19, Comment Poem 2

Dr Seuss doesn’t live here, his words grew silent,

Rough are the times, no more words from this giant.

Original like no other, indeed he was,

Yet, his words and style, they do still buzz.

Gone perhaps, are the simpler times,

But who can resist, his learning rhymes.

It’s exciting to learn, timeless to recall,

Voices speak, his words taught us all.

A Rainbow of words and colors unbound,

New words learned by color and sound.

Education by phonics like Green Eggs and Ham,

What of Horton and Who, Excited I am!

Who indeed can not smile as they read or recall the magic of the whimsical author that touched so many; to:

Dr Theodor Seuss Geisel,

1904-1991, RIP.

In tribute to Dr Seuss and in humor to @weinerdog’s comment originated in Chapter 19.

I haven't yet read the story that inspired this little poem, but I can only bow to the genius specialized in humor that you are! Very clever how you weaved in all the Dr. Seuss references!

Thank you so much, Laura. I’m glad you found it somewhat worthy. It wasn’t so much the story itself that inspired this poem, but a comment on my earlier poem comment of that same chapter; where the comment quote, in jest, said that Dr Seuss was on GA. In humor I chose to reply and it morphed. Haha, just having fun but also a respectful tribute intended.
