National Read Across America Day - March 2nd, 2014

[.josh]

Otherwise known as  Dr Seuss Day. 

So in honor of this "holiday" and of Dr. Seuss:

 

 

You did not like green eggs and ham,

Sam, you did not give a damn

 

But then a bloke just wouldn't scram,

and now you like them plenty, Sam!

 

Now it's time to read a book -

don't you give that dirty look. 

 

You'll like reading Mr. Sam,

You will like it more than ham.

 

One book, two book, red book, blue book:

just pick and sit down in a nook.

 

You should read one in a house,

about a cookie and a mouse.

 

You will like it near and far,

even Where the Wild Things Are.

 

If evening is more opportune,

read in bed with Goodnight Moon.

 

Oh, the Places You Will Go,

imagine things that books can show.

 

If you don't believe it's so,

Ask the Doctor, Who should know.

 

"Doctor Who? Doctor Who?"

Just ask Horton, he hears too.

 

So read a book for that old cat; 

to Doctor Suess: I tip my hat.
