AnElephantCant hide his excitefulness
Today in sunny San Francisco
With no inhibition
He attends an exhibition
Of his very most favouritest Super Hero
Now this chap cannot fly like Superman
He does not hang out in a Bat Cave
He has the power of laughter
There is no one dafter
He is the Genius of Misbehave
Today is the 109th birthday
Of the Cool Cat Theodore Seuss Geisel
This artist extraordinary
Wrote tales of high quality
He could improvise much and disguise all
He writes of How the Grinch Stole Christmas
And everyone is upset about that
But smartest of all
So cool and so tall
Is the incredible Cat in a Hat
He also writes stories of AnElephant
Although his is never to be forgotten
You just have to see
Him sit up a tree
And you know you will always love Horton
AnElephant gives both his readers good advice
And for once he is not being obtuse
Give yourself a wee treat
Make boredom obsolete
And go look at the creations of Dr Seuss

Had a chance to read this again after it was a related post on your Haibun. Nearly a year since you were here, and I imagine the awesomeness of it will stay with you until you reach 109 and beyond – or 110 this year

AnElephantCant argue with Christina
He values he opinion too much
He feels he must say
Ere she leads him astray
He reckons she is daft as a bruch

Dr. Seuss… a right of passage for every child to have experienced it. I think somehow you are kin to that, to have that childlike innocence inside of you to be able to write the things you do. Thank you for your gifts that you offer us.

Roxi praises his writing so highly
He may be child-likey
Or perhaps his psyche
Is really a bit more juveniley

For sharing your merriment
The cool cat is fun
So is big hearted Horton
Could it be that misbehaviour
Is the greater part of valour?
