In Seussland, we are likely to meet

The fuzzy and feathered and furry,

They like to wear hats, mittens and socks,

And run, fly and jump in a hurry.

Dr. Seuss helped us learn how to read,

Boomers, X-ers and millennials all.

He made up new words — like “lightninged” and “nerd,”

And also made reading a ball!

Enough with old Dick, enough with old Jane,

Enough with their stupid dog, Spot.

It’s Dr. Seuss who made reading fun,

Teaching what could never be taught!

A new book by the doctor is about to come out.

“What Pet Should I Get?” is its name.

It’s short and it’s Seuss-ish, not “One Fish Two Fish,”

But it does play a similar game.
