Happy Seuss Day!

[primsong]

It is the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Suess - which in my case means I get to give a presentation about his life to the first and second grade classes about an hour from now. I wrote up a biography for him at about their level of understanding and get to do a Q & A on him and his life. What an interesting man he was. :-)

My favorite thing was the way he kept a closet full of crazy hats in the observatory he used for a studio. Whenever writers block loomed, he would put on a silly hat to get back in the mood. That and how cranky he would get when well-meaning printers would "correct" his colors to make the trees green instead of pink, etc... Heh.

Wear a bow tie and read a few rhyming tongue-twisters today. Enjoy!

I will not write them in a boat.
I will not write them in a moat.
I will not write them with bread and jam.
I cannot write them, Prim-I-Am!

Oh wait, I guess I just did.
((((hugs)))))

Not in a boat? Not in a moat?
Not with some bread, not with some jam?
Write them! Write them! For you can,
Yes you can, Kimby-You-Am.

:-D
