Seuss Intro

Alright you boys, alright you girls

It’s time to discuss where learning unfurls.

Thinking back, as long as I could remember

Yes even back to my first December

There was one author who stood above the rest

You might even say that he was the best.

From how the books were written

To how they were read

Dr. Seuss Knew how to stick in your head

He used clever plots and clever themes

All nestled away

In neat rhyme schemes. 

Take heed, in fact

For what we will discuss

is why Seuss left a deep impression on us.

With characters here and words he would tinker

Seuss put great joy in making a kid into a thinker.

What sticks with us still is not the words or the book

But the message behind.

There, that’s the hook.

Though the books were for kids

The parents weren’t left out

For with him

A great message always came about

Relevant today, as ever they could be

His stories have aged like The Great Gatsby

The reason he is so great isn’t hard to conceive

One of his messages was just to believe.

As I read his stories, not only did I learn

But more knowledge and creativity were always yearned.

Horton Hears a Who

Green Eggs and Ham

Yertle The Turtle

And even the Grinch too!

All have shaped how we learn today

Simply by being there when it was time

To hit the hay.

Seuss help kids all over the place

Get comfortable with words at a nice slow pace

Even if you are a big as an Elephant

Or as small as a Who

Dr. Seuss knew you could read it

He believed in you!

You know who we are

And you know where we stand

Dr. Seuss influenced literacy all over the land.

You cannot deny

No, you won’t even dare

No other childrens’ authors even compare

Time is short, yes, don’t be bitter

Let’s move on now, to the good Dr.’s Twitter.
