“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
Who doesn't love Dr. Seuss? I don't think I ever got sick of my mother reading me Green Eggs and Ham. In fact, one of my favorite memories as a child was making them in 1st grade. My children's favorites are Hop on Pop and If I Ran the Circus. I think it's only fitting to pay tribute to him today in the midst of the poetry pod! His stories written in poetic meter have been a great joy in my life. When I see the glee in my children's eyes while reading his books, I wish I could thank him myself. Since this is not possible, we will be watching The Cat in the Hat tonight as a family.
Fish: This cat should not be here, he should not be about! He should not be here when your mother is out!
Cat: C'mon kids, you gonna listen to him? He drinks where he pees!
And now a poem by Frost...
In A Poem
The sentencing goes blithely on its way,
And takes the playfully objected rhyme
As surely as it keeps the stroke and time
In having its undeviable say.
