Happy Birthday Dr Seuss!

 March Second is Dr Seuss Day, because that was his birthday. All of us of a certain age likely remember reading many of is books. Unfortunately some of them have been banned...such is the culture of our day...however if you came to our house, we still have almost all of his books!! We had fun re-reading them to our sons when they were small...sheesh, that was SO long ago!

Happy Birthday, Dr Seuss!!

Here is a funny, silly 'Seussical' poem...since we love that Cat In A Hat....we think!

Its Dr Seuss Day
Today’s his Birthday!
We’ll celebrate
And play.
As Dr Seuss would say:
Our work is play
And its fun.
When we’re young
Or even old.
Play
Is soul’s gold!
So
Get out your hat;
Sit
On a mat.
Whether you’re skinny
or fat.
You need a plan.
So:
Make a wish,
for some fish-
In your dish!
Not a fan?
Well, then,
You can…
Just  enjoy,
And do not annoy
That special Cat,
Known as:
The Cat In A Hat!!

Dr Seuss Day

 We are also thankful...for many things, but we watched/heard our petcretary shout with glee when she recognized the Tuesday Teaser image at Teddy's Tuesday Teaser Class...she'd been there, so she quickly confirmed it...she was a double winner, being one of the first to 'get to class', and the first right  guesser.

Here's the image that was presented:

It was a guest image sent in by Grannie, from Angel Whisper (Peachy and Stippie)
 

Here is the picture that Petcretary made when she was visiting the same place, way back in 2008! Sheesh that was long before we were around...

This is Brugge (Bruges) in Belgium
So Petcretary got three badges as her reward:
Yay for ME – I was one of THREE First Commenters on the Teaser post of February 28, 2023!!

I was the FIRST RIGHT GUESSER on the Teaser post of February 28, 2023!!!!

I was a DOUBLE WINNER on the Teaser of February 23, 2023. I was a FIRST COMMENTER and I also was the FIRST RIGHT GUESSER!!! WHOOPEEEEEEE!


Professor Sammy's Poetry Day

Here is a poem we penned for Sammy's Poetry Corner...also in a 'Seussian' style, so we're including it here as well...

Here is the photo prompt:

I am not
THE cat in a hat.
But
I am Cat
That
Sat
In my chair…
With quite
A Debonair
Flair!

Thankful Thursday, Dr Seuss Style!

  13. Excellent poetry guys! We hope you had a pawsome Dr. Seuss's day. And congrats on being a double Teaser winner. Our mum wants to sit next to you in class (so she can peak at your answers which are always right). She's not that great with geography apparently. 😇
